Is your dog’s overweight a health risk?
Obesity is becoming a serious issue, with nearly 50% of dogs being overweight. This can affect mobility, put strain on joints, and reduce overall health. If there’s no underlying medical reason, excess weight is usually caused by consuming more calories than the dog burns.
Recognising obesity
Obesity can lead to severe health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, joint pain, and even cancer. On the other hand, studies show that dogs at an ideal weight live up to two years longer and experience fewer health problems. But how can you tell if your dog is overweight?

What do owners say?
Koda & Athina
"After a long struggle with Koda's stool, we're finally on the right track with Opti Life Prime! What's more, Koda has regained his appetite and now asks for food at 5pm on the dot! (laughs)"
Lexy & Annelle
"Lexy was very difficult to feed. Sometimes she wouldn't eat for four days because she didn't like what she was eating. But thanks to Opti Life Prime, she never misses a day! What's more, she now begs for food because she loves it so much."
Spot & Louise
"For the last 5 years I've had to keep buying different brands because Spot wouldn't eat his food when the bag was empty. Fortunately, that's all over now, thanks to Opti Life Prime!"
Torvi & Ilse
"Torvi has always been a fussy eater, his intestines wouldn't tolerate any dry food. Until we tried Opti Life Prime. Now Torvi is completely ecstatic at mealtimes and finishes his whole bowl every time, without being bothered afterwards!”
Floyd & Welmoed
"Floyd is a fussy eater; he quickly tires of his food. He's also allergic to many protein sources. Opti Life Prime Salmon is the first food he'll jump at when we tell him it's time to eat. It's still very rare that we have to force him to eat his food, but it used to be that way. Floyd and we are pleasantly surprised!”
Shadow, Lumi & Sharon
“Shadow has always been fussy and temperamental at the table. At 3.5 years old he is now eating kibble for the first time. This has made Lumi's choice very easy. Shadow is gaining weight for the first time in his young life and he looks healthier and fuller! I couldn't live without this kibble!”
Noora & Chloe
"Noora is a very picky eater. We've tried different foods and brands, both kibble and raw, but nothing has worked for her. When we travelled, with all the walking we did, we actually had to feed her by hand, bit by bit, to keep her going. Since she has been on Opti Life Prime she finishes her bowl straight away and sometimes even asks for more. Given her history, I'm very happy about this! It gives me great pleasure to see her enjoying her food."
Jazz & Katrien
"We've finally found a food that our dog is happy to eat! Jazz is a very poor eater, but with Opti Life Prime Salmon she eats her whole bowl. Thank you so much!"
