Our nutrition solutions rely on high-quality ingredients without artificial additives, unnecessary fillers, or hidden calorie bombs. Your dog gets everything it needs—and nothing that could harm it.
Possible Causes of Excess Weight
A common reason for overweight in dogs is a calorie surplus – your dog takes in more energy than they expend. Often, this results from portion sizes that are too large, as many owners tend to overestimate their dog's actual energy needs.
The feeding routine also plays a crucial role: Constantly refilling the bowl or giving your dog too many snacks promotes uncontrolled weight gain.
Particularly problematic is industrial food high in fat and carbohydrates. Grains, corn, and other cheap fillers quickly contribute to excess weight. Added to this are treats that often aren’t accounted for in the daily ration—many of which are true calorie bombs loaded with fats, sugars, or artificial additives.
Another key factor is lack of exercise. Many dogs don’t get sufficient physical activity to burn off excess calories. A lack of regular walks, play sessions, and training can cause surplus energy to be stored as fat. Dogs living primarily indoors or older pets are especially prone to gaining weight due to insufficient exercise. A balanced combination of healthy nutrition and adequate activity is therefore essential for maintaining a healthy weight and overall well-being.
Disadvantages of Industrial Dog Food
Industrial dog food seems convenient but has many health drawbacks. A major issue is its high carbohydrate content. Often filled with grains, corn, or potatoes as cheap fillers, these ingredients provide energy but lack essential nutrients. Dogs, being carnivores, need protein-rich diets—too many carbs lead to weight gain and digestive issues.
The quality of ingredients often falls short. Instead of fresh meat and vegetables, many brands use highly processed materials. Low-quality fats, like cheap poultry fat, offer limited nutritional benefits. Fresh, natural ingredients with valuable vitamins are often missing.
Additionally, the protein-to-fat ratio is frequently imbalanced. Dogs need high-quality proteins to maintain muscle, but poor protein sources or low protein levels can cause muscle loss. Many commercial foods are calorie-rich yet nutrient-poor, increasing obesity risk.
Another issue is the intensive processing. High temperatures destroy natural nutrients, forcing manufacturers to rely on synthetic additives. These synthetic nutrients are often harder for dogs to absorb compared to natural sources.
What's the Solution?
A healthy body weight is essential for dogs to remain fit and active. The most important measure to prevent excess weight is feeding appropriate amounts of high-quality food without unnecessary fillers. Portion sizes should be adjusted according to the dog’s actual energy requirements, and snacks should be consciously chosen and included in the daily ration.
At the same time, sufficient physical activity is crucial—regular walks, active playtime, and mental stimulation help burn excess calories. Regular weight checks ensure that your dog remains at a healthy weight. By combining balanced nutrition, controlled feeding, and regular exercise, overweight can be prevented or reduced, ensuring your dog remains healthy and energetic over the long term.

What our customers say
“My Labrador had been struggling with overweight issues for years. Despite reducing his food portions, he just wouldn’t lose weight. Ever since we started feeding him the Fidelis Fresh Menus, he has reached his ideal weight – without going hungry! The food keeps him full, and he’s much more active again.”
Sarah W.
“My 13-year-old dog was raw fed until two years ago. Then she started having frequent bouts of long-lasting diarrhea. The veterinary examination didn’t reveal anything. Since then, she has only tolerated very few food brands. She does really well with the Fidelis Fresh Menus. The price is definitely fair for such great quality.”
Emily R.
“My older male dog gained quite a bit of weight due to the wrong food. With Fidelis, he’s finally getting a balanced diet that keeps him full without putting unnecessary strain on him. After a few months, you can clearly see the difference: he’s slimmer, more active, and much happier overall.”
