Recent studies have shown that one in three dogs in the United Kingdom is overweight or obese. Almost all cases of obesity are the result of overfeeding and inactivity. Use of unrestrictive, self-feeding methods can allow your pet to over eat, quickly leading to obesity and its associated diseases, including heart disease, liver and kidney problems, and hip and joint deterioration.

Using the benefit of Havaball's controlled food release, instead of a food bowl, is beneficial for dieting pets or those that eat too fast. The controlled food release compels pets to eat slowly, allowing them to feel full before overeating. Slower feeding and controlled portions also increases the efficiency of their digestive process by facilitating a more complete digestion and absorption of nutrients before passing through the digestive system. Your pet will also benefit from the exercise necessary to release the food from the Havaball® .

Consult your veterinarian for proper feeding guidelines tailored to meet your pet's individual dietary needs.
