We're excited to share expert insights from our vet, Dr. Heidi, where she dives into a topic that affects dogs at every life stage: weight management & metabolism 🐶 This complete video is now available to watch right here on our website!

Many dog parents associate weight concerns with overfeeding or "just a few extra treats," but metabolic health is something worth thinking about well before the scale starts to shift. From energy levels and joint comfort to overall vitality and long-term wellbeing, a healthy metabolism can influence so much of how your dog feels day to day.

In this full video, Dr. Heidi explains the foundations of weight management and metabolism, and why supporting your dog's metabolic health may have benefits that go far beyond simply managing the number on the scale.

In this session, Dr. Heidi covers:

• Why weight management matters - and the important role that metabolism, muscle mass, and nutrition play in keeping your dog at a healthy weight over time
• Signs to watch for - including reduced energy, weight gain or loss, changes in appetite, reluctance to exercise, and other indicators that your dog's metabolism may need extra support
• The weight-mobility-vitality connection - how body condition and overall health can influence joint comfort, energy, and long-term wellbeing

How to Support Your Dog's Weight Management & Metabolism

Dr. Heidi also shares practical tips to help maintain a healthy weight and steady energy:

• Start early - metabolic support isn't just for less active or senior dogs; building healthy habits early can make a real difference later in life
• Support from within - using daily nutrition and supplements that help support metabolic health, lean muscle, and overall vitality
• Stay consistent - small daily habits that can help promote a healthy weight and long-term wellbeing
