Perfect Poop is only about 8-9% fat and is a relatively small portion of dogs’ diets, so weight gain isn’t something that is typically associated.
The Calorie content of 1 TBSP of Perfect Poop is 13 kcal ME. If your dog is on a restricted Calorie intake diet, it may be worth chatting with your vet or other trusted canine nutrition professional about whether to adjust your dogs’ meal sizes down a bit when making the decision to add Perfect Poop.
Dogs who were previously struggling to make the most of digesting their nutrients might actually gain weight due to improved nutrient absorption, but in our experience, this has been most commonly related to dogs who previously struggled to keep weight on.
Conversely, some dogs who were overweight find a healthier balance the other direction. Perfect Poop’s unique combination of soluble and insoluble fiber can help regulate digestion to a steady speed for nutrient absorption and reduce occurences like glucose spikes.
We’ve found that typically, good digestion leads to better overall balance, similar to how the product can help with either constipation or diarrhea even though they seem to be opposite ends of the spectrum.
Here at Bernie’s Best, we are in this for the dogs and stand by Bernie’s Growl-Free Guarantee 100%, so please contact our customer service if you need any assistance, or decide that our product isn’t right for your dog’s specific needs.
