Royal Canin announce the next territory launch within our Veterinary Health Nutrition range – WEIGHT MANAGEMENT.
Obesity has now been classified as a chronic incurable disease. Being overweight puts our pets at risk of developing a number of health concerns and studies reveal that excess weight is linked with a reduced life span in dogs and cats1,2.

The ROYAL CANIN® WEIGHT MANAGEMENT range offers tailored nutritional solutions to support healthy weight and the management of cats and dogs with diabetes mellitus. |
Simplified range
Royal Canin believe in putting the pet first which has prompted a decision to simplify their range and ease your recommendation. ROYAL CANIN® OBESITY MANAGEMENT and ROYAL CANIN® WEIGHT CONTROL are being discontinued and will no longer be available by the end of 2019.
The new recommendation for your clients is Royal Canin’s gold standard in nutritional support for weight management – ROYAL CANIN® SATIETY WEIGHT MANAGEMENT.

Introducing the NEW Canine SATIETY WEIGHT MANAGEMENT X-kibble
 |
We’ve introduced a new X-kibble shape for our Canine SATIETY WEIGHT MANAGEMENT diet which provides a positive impact on eating behaviour.It significantly increases meal duration by 57% and encourages increased chewing6. Begging behaviour also significantly decreased after only 15 days6. This is not available in the Small Dogs diet as the results weren’t significantly different to the current round kibble shape therefore the decision was made to keep with the existing SATIETY WEIGHT MANAGEMENT SMALL DOGS kibble to support palatability. |
Uncover the clinical benefits of ROYAL CANIN® DIABETIC
 |
DIABETIC’s macronutrient profile supports glucomodulation, maintenance of lean muscle mass and optimisation of ideal body composition. It also has an adapted fibre blend which can improve glycemic control, possibly by slowing down gastric emptying, reducing the rate of starch degradation and help flattening the post-prandial glucose curve7,8. ROYAL CANIN® DIABETIC is highly palatable which is important to help ensure consistent intake, especially during stabilisation of the diabetic patient. Due to its moderate levels of fat and energy content, it meets the needs of patients with various caloric requirements up to a BCS of 6/9. |
