What happens if my dog is to big to be weighed at home?
No worries! Just come by your vet practice and our staff will be happy to assist and weigh your dog! Just don't forget to enter the values in the Growth Chart.
Why am I asked to agree to a study consent?
FitFido is a pilot program. In the veterinary world, we call this a "study". Our scientists would like to track the development of your pup's growth and use this data to improve our program and products, e.g. Growth Chart, to make sure that more pet parents are aware of the obesity problem and get access to the right resources to prevent it. Our purpose is to create A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS. Please note that all your personal and pet's data is securely protected. Please read our privacy policy and Terms & Consitions here.
I am interested. Does it cost anything?
No, participation is completely free. However, your puppy must be undergoing the neutering procedure and be a maximum of 12 months old at the time of program enrollment.
What is FitPuppy and why should I participate in this program?
FitPuppy is a pilot program developed in partnership with Waltham Petcare Institute, Mars Petcare and Royal Canin who share a vision of creating A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS.
If your vet recommended this program to you, that means your pup is about to go or has just gone through neutering - and keeping track of their weight is now more important than ever! More than half of pets in several countries are estimated to be over their ideal body weight, and this alarming trend affects both a pets’ lifespan and quality of life.
