What dog weight loss supplements could be useful to your dog when dieting?

Supplementing your dog’s diet with Omega-3 acids (found in fish oils) will help your dog to burn fat by improving carbohydrate and fat metabolism. A diet high in omega-3 fatty acids is also essential to maintaining a healthy coat and skin during dieting. L-carnitine (an amino acid) is another dietary supplement that could help your dog lose more weight while dieting by increasing the chances that the body will use fat for energy as opposed to storing it. Both of the above supplements can be found in many weight management foods. Be sure to ask your veterinarian if these dietary supplements are appropriate for your dog and what dosages.
