Nutro Max Weight Control Formula for Overweight Less Active Dogs

Max Weight Control Formula is a tasty breakthrough in foods formulated for overweight and less active dogs.

Max Weight Control Formula was preferred three to one when tested against the leading brands in the field. It combines veterinarian and nutritionists' recommendations for overweight and less active dogs with the palatability, quality, and attention you expect from Nutro Max products.

Both veterinarians and nutritionists recommend reduced calorie diets for overweight and less active dogs.

All Natural Max Weight Control Formula delivers these nutrients at the recommended levels, plus much, much more. And to keep every bite fresh and filled with maximum nutritional benefits, Max Weight Control Formula uses natural vitamin E as a preservative.

Recommended For Your Dog's Special Needs

Overweight or Less Active Dogs: Many veterinarians consider the overweight pet to be at increased risk for a number of health problems, such as heart disease, hypertension, and arthritis. Max Weight Control Formula may assist in weight problems because of its reduced calories and fat, while providing the nutrients necessary to maintain optimum health. Max Weight Control Formula contains 7.9% less calories and 37.5% less fat than Nutro Max Naturally Preserved Dog Food.

No Chicken By-Products

Most dog foods contain chicken by-products or poultry by-products as a source of protein. That means including chicken or poultry heads, feet, and guts--ingredients you'll never find in Nutro Max Weight Control Formulas. Nutro uses the same parts of the chicken you feed your family. No heads, no feet, no guts.

Specially Formulated for Your Pet

Glucosamine and Chondroitin for Healthy Joints: Research indicates that overweight dogs are more prone to hip and joint injuries so Nutro added these naturally occurring building blocks for healthy joints.

Chelated Minerals for Better Nutrition: Chelated minerals get into your dog's system faster.

Vitamins for Better Health: Nutro added a specially adjusted vitamin mix that's formulated for less active, overweight dogs.

L-Carnitine for Better Nutrient Utilization: Aids in metabolism for better utilization of nutrients.

Sunflower Oil for Healthy Skin and Coat: Sunflower oil is very high in linoleic acid which is the only fatty acid proven essential for healthy skin and coat.

For Less Active Dogs: Feed according to the instructions under Maintenance.

For Overweight Dogs: If your pet is overweight, feed according to the instructions under Weight Reduction. Once the target is achieved, switch to Maintenance feeding.
