請教一下~醫師處方的飼料

[阿寶麻]

因為我家阿寶很胖 ，我一直都有幫他在剪肥
從剪少飼料的份量到吃低熱量的飼+ 運動
但成果不彰~

我最近有看到某一家有出『醫生處方飼料_瘦身用』
上面是寫說: 能有 醫師指示使用…等

想請教的事:
1.『一般飼料_低熱量 』跟 這種『醫生處方_瘦身』有什麼不同嗎~
2. 因為，處方飼料的價格都很貴，而且包裝都是小公斤數~
可以這麼使用嗎 ~~ 若我一天二餐，一餐正常的飼料，一餐處方用的
3.這種醫生處方飼料，長期吃下來，對狗的身体好嗎 ~

當然，我知道剪肥一定要運動啦…呵，只是想要給阿寶更好的輔助品

寶媽,最好提供一下阿寶的姓別,體重,年齡,是否結紮以及你看到的醫生處方飼料成份(因為各廠牌的配方和成份差異頗大)
這樣有利於醫生給建議,是否適合狗狗減肥用

了解, AMY…
可是，我PO上去阿寶的体重的資料…一定會被你罵死啦…鳴~^^"

Generally speaking, both the "over-the-counter " and "prescription" weight control diets contain lower energy density, which means lower kcal per unit of food. The "prescription" reduced energy diets usually contain even lower energy density than the non-prescription ones. For patients who become obese simply due to overeating, we can certainly try to cut down the total daily amount of food to see if that helps to control the body weight. I usually recommend the owner to cut down the total amount by 10-20% (depends on the degree of obesity) and have them weigh the dog again every 3-4 weeks to check on the progress. If it works and the patient has no problem with this method then there is no need for special diet. For very obese patients or patients who are very obsessed with food, weight control diets are still recommended because with weight control diets, we don't need to cut down as much amount of food as the regular diet to achieve the same calorie reduction. The other good point about the weight control diets is that they offer sufficient amount of other nutritions that the body needs, such as vitamines and minerals, while offering less calorie. All the weight control diets are complete diets like the regular ones so there is no worry using them long-termly. When you start to put your dog on a special diet, remember to GRADUALLY switch the diet over (usually takes 5-7 days). Set your goal for the body weight and start with the daily food amount recommended by the brand you're using for the goaled body weight. Be firm and consistant. Reweigh your dog every 3-4 weeks to make sure the body weight is coming down gradually. Some adjustments can be made if you think the body weight is dropping too fast or too slow. Avoid treats, especially high-calorie ones like milk bones and some fruits and vegetables, such as baby carrot. If you need to give treats, consider low-calorie ones like lettuce and remember to cut down the daily food amount. I won't go against your idea of giving one meal of weight control diet and the other meal with a regular diet as long as you have a good control of the total amount and calorie of food you are giving to your dog. And, please don't forget to exercise your dog.

翻譯如下：

一般來說，''非處方''和''處方''兩者重量控制的飲食包含較低的能量密度，意思就是每單位的食物有較低的卡路里。減少能量飲食的 " 處方 " 通常超過包含更低的能量密度的非處方。 因為過食導致肥胖的病人，我們可以無疑地試著每日減低食物的總量，如果那樣可以對控制體重有幫助。我通常推薦飼主減少總量的10%-20%(依肥胖的程度)，以及每三.四個禮拜量一次體重檢查進展。如果有效且病人對這個方法沒有產生問題，那麼不需要特別的飲食。

對於非常肥胖的病人或非常著迷於食物的病人，體量控制飲食仍然被推薦的，因為體重控制飲食不需要減低比一般的飲食還多量的食物，來達當減少相同的卡路里。關於重量控制飲食的另一個好處，是當卡路里減少的時候，他們提供了充份身體所需要的其他營養，像是維他命和礦物質。所有的體量控制飲食是像一般完整的飲食，長期使用不用擔心。

當你給予妳的狗特別飲食的時候，記得漸進式的改變(通常花5-7天)。把希望的目標體重定出來，照著你使用的(飼料)廠牌上面每日建議餵食量餵食。要堅定和始終如一。每3-4周量一次體重，確定體重逐漸減少。如果你認為體重減少太快或太慢，可以做一些調整。

避免零食，特別是一些高卡路里的牛奶骨以及一些水果和蔬菜，像是小型紅蘿蔔。如果你需要給零食，考慮低卡路里的像是生菜，以及記得減少每日食物的總量。我不會反對妳''一餐體重控制飲食、一餐正常飲食''的想法，只要你給妳的狗食物總量的卡路里控制良好。

還有，請別忘記給狗狗運動。
