“…These results are similar to the findings by [11] that also detected satisfactory weight loss when using high fiber and protein diets in obese dogs. However, weight loss in the current study was superior to that found by [9] and [7], where the dogs had an average loss of 0.85% ± 0.344% per week.…”

“…For faster and more effective weight loss, the amount of calories should be calculated based on a calorie restriction factor rather than of the maintenance [9]. The ideal diet to be chosen is the one with more fiber and protein, because it provides better and faster weight loss when compared to diets with high protein and medium fiber [10] [11]. Several studies have demonstrated that high-protein and high-fiber diets provide a greater sense of satiation to dogs and promote effective weight loss in obese dogs [9] [10] [11].…”

Currently, canine obesity is a worldwide problem and is based on the excessive deposit of fat tissue, which plays an important role as a store of energy and endocrine organ. This study aimed to compare the values of systolic blood pressure, serum chemistry profile and glucose metabolism in eight obese dogs without endocrine diseases before and after 16 weeks of a weight loss program. A statistical difference was noticed in the serum levels of alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferase, glucose, cholesterol and insulin, before and after the program. Besides, there was a statistical difference between the moments in systolic blood pressure, body weight and body condition scale. Therefore, it was concluded that the use of a diet rich in fiber and protein is suitable for performing weight loss and obese dogs undergoing a weight loss program presented a significant reduction in blood pressure, blood glucose, insulin, blood cholesterol, serum activity of alkaline phosphatase and gamma glutamyl transferase.

“…Therefore, the use of a purposeformulated diet remains the principal method for controlled weight loss, usually in conjunction with changes in lifestyle designed to increase activity and control feeding of extra food (e.g. as treats or table scraps) (26)(27)(28)(29) .…”

Obesity is arguably the biggest health and welfare issue affecting pet dogs. Although successful weight loss has health benefits, current strategies are far from ideal. Many obese dogs that start a weight programme fail to lose weight, or subsequently regain the weight they have lost. Given that current weight loss strategies are not perfect, clinicians need to focus carefully on tailoring the programme, perhaps setting a pragmatic target for weight loss, so as to ensure the benefits are maximised. This review will summarise key findings from recent clinical research into pet obesity, and present a framework for improving success, by better tailoring weight management regimens and end points to the individual.

“…Moreover, large and hard solid particles demonstrate low gastric emptying rates, as opposed to small and soft in which the rates are profoundly higher (Kong and Singh 2008;Drechsler and Ferrua 2016); the same trend corresponds between high and low viscosity fluids (Moxon, Gouseti, and Bakalis 2016). Controlling the gastric emptying rate receives considerable attention, because it associates with metabolic effects and the management of obesity (Cohen et al 2003;CardosoJúnior et al 2007), both in humans and pets (German et al 2010). It is also strongly related to diabetes and stomach disorders such as dyspepsia (Rayner et al 2001).…”

On modeling the large strain fracture behaviour of soft viscous foods

Mastication is responsible for food breakdown with the aid of saliva in order to form a cohesive viscous mass, known as the bolus. This influences the rate at which the ingested food nutrients are later absorbed into the body, which needs to be controlled to aid in epidemic health problems such as obesity, diabetes and dyspepsia. The aim of our work is to understand and improve food oral breakdown efficiency in both human and pet foods through developing multiscale models of oral and gastric processing. The latter has been a challenging task and the available technology may be still immature, as foods usually exhibit a complex viscous, compliant and tough mechanical behaviour. These are all addressed here through establishing a novel material model calibrated through experiments on starch-based food. It includes a suitable damage initiation criterion, a damage evolution law governed by the true material's fracture toughness and a constitutive stressstrain response, all three being a function of the stress state i.e. compression, shear and tension. The material model is used in an FE analysis which reproduces accurately the food separation patterns under a large strain indentation test, which resembles the boundary conditions applied in chewing. The results lend weight to the new methodology as a powerful tool in understanding food breakdown and optimising food structures.
