HEALTHY REDUCTION-MCS TM Healthy Reduction-MCS Canine dry and wet diets are higher protein, lower energy, highly digestible, and provide a nutrient profile appropriate to support lean body mass in dogs that require calorie restriction for weight loss. Reduced caloric density allows for a more satisfying food volume 1 and along with high palatability improves owner compliance and success during a weight loss program. Overweight dogs are at higher risk of osteoarthritis 2,3,4 and weight loss can improve clinical signs 5,6. Supplementation with rich sources of omega 3 (EPA/DHA/DPA) provides an evidence-based method to help reduce joint inflammation in the management of dogs with osteoarthritis 7-10. Inclusion of prebiotics (FOS) helps maintain gastrointestinal health 11. Dry: 3 kg, 9.5 kg Wet: 400 g Maintenance Features: Higher protein levels to maintain lean 1, 12 body mass during weight loss Reduced caloric density 1 Rich levels of n-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA/DPA) Increased levels of micronutrients to ensure adequate nutrient delivery during calorie restriction 13,14 Moderate to low sodium content Moderate Fat content (< 30% of ME from fat) Excellent palatability High digestibility Moderate fibre content with added prebiotics (fructooligosaccharides) maintains gastrointestinal health and normal stool volume. Complementary dry and wet diets provide an option of combination feeding (dry and wet), which may increase the success and compliance of weight loss, weight maintenance and/or joint health programs. Therapeutic Indications: Weight loss 1,15 Weight maintenance, and/or transition needs after successful weight loss programs Osteoarthritis 7,8,9 Inactive or sedentary lifestyle Risk of orthopedic disease and high physical demand activities Post orthopedic surgery Physical rehabilitation patients Acute and chronic pancreatitis -dependent 18, 19, 20, 21 on patient

Avoid free feeding (unless there is a specific medical reason); it may promote obesity over time, especially in spayed or neutered dogs. 24 The tables below can be used to estimate the amount to feed using the dog s optimum weight. Always introduce new foods gradually over 5-7 days by substituting larger amounts of the new food in place of the old diet. Please see our website to locate our handy Feeding Calculator under the heading Diets. The calculator can assist you with the caloric requirements,feeding volumes and includes combinations of wet and dry diet.

Feeding guidelines are from the AAHA 2010 Nutritional Assessment Guidelines for Dogs and Cats 23.The above tables should be used as a starting guideline and the actual amounts fed may need to be increased or decreased based on each dog s individual energy requirements. Energy requirements will vary depending upon such factors as age, breed, gender and neuter status, activity level, and underlying disease state. After completion of a weight loss program dogs have a lower energy requirement and an individual pet may only require 10% more calories than needed to lose weight to maintain ideal body weight. 16,17 DRY (WEIGHT LOSS) Cups to Feed Per Day Grams to Feed Per Day 5-10 2.3 4.6 ½ - ¾ 39 65 10-20 4.6 9.1 ¾ - 1 ¼ 65 109 20-30 9.1-13.6 1 ¼ - 1 ⅔ 109 148 30-40 13.6-18.2 1 ⅔ - 2 148 184 40-50 18.2-22.7 2 2 ½ 184 217 50-60 22.7-27.3 2 ½ - 2 ¾ 217 249 60-70 27.3-31.8 2 ¾ - 3 ¼ 249 279 70-80 31.8-36.4 3 ¼ - 3 ½ 279 309 80-90 36.4-40.9 3 ½ - 3 ¾ 309 337 90-100 40.9-45.5 3 ¾ - 4 337 364 WET (WEIGHT LOSS) Cans to Feed Per Day 5-10 2.3 4.6 ½ - ¾ 10-20 4.6 9.1 ¾ - 1 ¼ 20-30 9.1-13.6 1 ¼ - 1 ⅔ 30-40 13.6-18.2 1 ⅔ - 2 40-50 18.2-22.7 2-2 ⅓ 50-60 22.7-27.3 2 ⅓ - 2 ¾ 60-70 27.3-31.8 2 ¾ - 3 70-80 31.8-36.4 3-3 ⅓ 80-90 36.4-40.9 3 ⅓ - 3 ⅔ 90-100 40.9-45.5 3 ⅔ - 4
Feeding guidelines are from the AAHA 2014 Weight Management Guidelines for Dogs and Cats 1.The above tables should be used as a starting guideline and the actual amounts needed to safely lose weight may need to be increased or decreased based on each dog s individual energy requirements. Some patients may require as much as 20% less calories than what is listed in the above table to successfully lose weight. 1 The target rate for safe weight loss in dogs is 1-2% weight loss/week. 1,12 Body condition score, muscle condition score and weight should be evaluated every 2-4 weeks during a weight loss program and feeding amounts adjusted to achieve an ideal rate of weight loss. An individualized weight loss program for each patient is necessary for successful weight loss and owner compliance. Using a gram scale to measure the amount of dry food to be fed is recommended, as it is more accurate than the use of a measuring cup. The use of a measuring cup leads to overfeeding especially when small volumes of food are required. 25 COMPATIBLE TREATS Rayne Rewards S.I.T. Every Dog Apple and Pumpkin biscuits (20 kcal/biscuit). Ensure that energy intake from treats does not exceed 10 % of daily kcal intake, and that the total kcal from treats is subtracted from the calculated daily kcal requirement when determining the volume of diet to be fed. 26 NUTRITIONAL ADEQUACY STATEMENT FOR DIFFERENCE LIFE STAGES Both diets have been formulated to meet the Association of American Feed Control (AAFCO) nutrient requirements for maintenance of adult dogs.
