ONCE WEIGHT LOSS IS ACHIEVED
- Celebrate!
- If your pet is still losing weight once the ideal body weight is achieved, you and your veterinary team may want to increase your pet's caloric intake by 10% to change from weight loss to weight maintenance. Monitor every 2 weeks until stable body weight is achieved, then monitor monthly to make sure your pet's ideal body weight is being maintained, making adjustments if necessary. It may take several monthly recheck exams to determine your pet's appropriate maintenance energy requirements.
