CB Partner Webinar #EVENTTITLE# Purina® We hope you found the information valuable in helping patients lose weight.  Below you will find the Top 5 Takeaways from the webinar, as well as instructions for obtaining your CE certificate. Pet owners commonly overlook that their pet is overweight or obese. Successful weight loss plans should start with awareness of ideal body condition, the clinical implications of obesity, and the impact on longevity for the pet. It’s not enough to tell pet owners to “feed less.” Each weight loss plan should include a thorough diet history and nutritional assessment to determine specific recommendations. Experts suggest that the weight of food using a gram scale may provide more accurate daily caloric intake. When choosing a weight loss diet, the total calories and nutrient composition should be considered, along with other dietary needs for concurrent medical conditions. Consistent patient re-evaluations are needed for weight loss plans to be successful. Discuss challenges with owners beforehand, and plan to follow up every 1 to 2 weeks initially to troubleshoot any unforeseen difficulties that may arise. When helping owners plan for weight loss, clear communication is key. Consider strategies that enhance the human–animal bond. Many owners think “food is love.” Long-term results require understanding their motivation, non-negotiables, and readiness to help their pets succeed.
