Understanding Weight Management in Dogs
Excess weight in dogs can lead to a variety of health issues, including joint problems, heart disease, and diabetes. BLUE True Solutions™ Weight Control is specifically formulated to address these concerns. It features L-Carnitine, an amino acid that plays a crucial role in fat metabolism and has been clinically proven to support ideal weight management in dogs. Additionally, the recipe incorporates added fiber, which helps dogs feel fuller for longer, reducing the urge to overeat and supporting a healthy digestive system.
Key Ingredients for Optimal Health
This weight control formula is built upon a foundation of high-quality, natural ingredients. The primary ingredient is real chicken, providing an excellent source of lean protein essential for muscle development and maintenance. Complementing the chicken are wholesome grains like brown rice and oatmeal, which offer complex carbohydrates for sustained energy and valuable B vitamins and minerals.
Beyond the core ingredients, BLUE True Solutions™ Weight Control is enhanced with other beneficial components:
- Flaxseed: A rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseed contributes to healthy skin and a shiny coat, while also providing dietary fiber for digestive health.
- Menhaden Fish Meal: Another quality protein source, it further supports muscle development and provides essential nutrients.
- Blueberries and Cranberries: These antioxidant-rich fruits provide vitamins C and E, supporting a healthy immune system and offering natural benefits.
The Power of LifeSource Bits™
A hallmark of BLUE Buffalo products, including the True Solutions™ line, is the inclusion of exclusive LifeSource Bits™. These are a precise blend of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals carefully selected by veterinarians and animal nutritionists. They are cold-formed to preserve their potency, ensuring they effectively support immune system health, meet life stage requirements, and promote a healthy oxidative balance in your dog.

Feeding Guidelines and Transitioning
Determining the correct feeding amount is crucial for weight management. The feeding guidelines provided on the packaging are a starting point, with recommended daily servings based on your dog’s weight. It’s important to remember that individual dogs’ needs may vary based on age, breed, activity level, and environment. Always adjust food as necessary to maintain an optimal body condition and consult your veterinarian if you are unsure about the appropriate amount.
When transitioning your dog to BLUE True Solutions™ Weight Control, a gradual approach over 14 days is recommended. Start by mixing a small amount of the new food with their old food, gradually increasing the proportion of BLUE over time. This helps prevent digestive upset and allows your dog’s system to adapt to the new ingredients.
