Weight Management
Just like the human epidemic, almost 50% of the pet population is overweight. Even a little extra weight can impact your pet's quality of life and relationship with family because that extra weight can reduce play time, impact mobility and affect the lifelong general health of your dog.

- Chicken #1 Ingredient

How it helps:
