Yellow Lab, 3, 95 lbr/labrador
VET SAID 85 TO 90
My dog is a 3yo MN yellow lab and he weighs 95lb. Vet said he should be 85-90, so I've since cut out his wet food but I'm not noticing a difference.

Why diet food did not work
Why diet food did not work
The bag chart was written for an intact, active, two-year-old dog. “Neutering and spays always slow down the metabolism,” and every birthday since turns the furnace down further, so the same cup that kept him lean now gets stored. Diet food only cuts the calories going in. L-carnitine changes what the body does with them, carrying stored fat into the cells to be burned. And because every extra pound lands on his knees and hips, the joint stack makes moving feel good again, which is where the rest of the weight goes.

Seen on the scale
Dog parents who “tried everything” are switching to Pawdua & Co.
Why “feed less, walk more” stalled
How the drops work.
“I switched to weight management food 6 months ago. I measure every meal. Replaced treats with carrots. Walk her every morning. And yet she hasn't lost a single pound.” Here is the part the bag chart leaves out.
01
The fat starts moving
L-carnitine is the shuttle that carries stored fat into the cell furnace where it gets burned. “Neutering and spays always slow down the metabolism,” and age finishes the job, so the fat stays parked. The drops put the shuttle back.
02
The begging settles
“My corgi is always hungry and never full!!” In the Labrador feeding trial, the dogs on L-carnitine ate less on their own. Most owners tell us the pacing after dinner quiets down inside the first month, so the smaller bowl finally holds.
03
The energy comes back, then the waist
Most owners notice the walks stretching before the scale moves. “He's a lot happier now and has ten times the energy as before” is the line we hear most. The joint stack keeps the knees comfortable while the weight comes off, and by weeks 4 to 8 the tuck behind the ribs is back.
What is inside
The ingredients.
Per 1 mL, exactly as printed on the label. No xylitol, no grain, no fillers, nothing he has to hide in cheese.
L-Carnitine
100 mg per mL
The fat shuttle. Carries fatty acids into the mitochondria to be burned for energy. In a 7-week feeding trial, overweight dogs given L-carnitine lost 6.4% of body weight against 1.8% without it.
Omega-3 EPA/DHA
300 mg fish oil per mL
Calm for the joints, shine for the coat. 180 mg EPA and 120 mg DHA support a healthy inflammatory response in the joints and skin that extra weight stresses.
Joint Stack
Glucosamine 500 · Chondroitin 250 · MSM 200 · HA 25 mg
Cushion for the load. The four ingredients vets reach for when a heavy dog slows down on the stairs. Cartilage, lubrication and comfort in the same dropper.
Turmeric 95%
75 mg per mL
The botanical antioxidant. Standardised to 95% curcuminoids. Pairs with the omega-3s to support the inflammatory response that extra weight keeps switched on.
Beta-Glucans, Zinc, Vitamin E
100 mg · 15 mg · 25 IU
Immune and metabolism support. Beta-glucans for immune function, zinc chelate for metabolism, mixed tocopherols to protect cells from oxidative stress.
Other ingredients: purified water, natural flavors, vegetable glycerin, citric acid, potassium sorbate. Made in an FDA-registered, GMP-compliant facility and third-party lab tested.
Sound familiar?
“She's constantly hungry.” “He's always just been big.”
“The vet said it's serious.”
You measured the cup. You swapped the bag for the weight-management one the vet suggested. You stopped the table scraps and argued with everyone in the house who did not.
And he still “stares at the bowl the second it's empty.” Still “acting ravenous since I cut back again.” Still “hesitates at the couch.” Nobody tells you the diet food was never the whole answer.
"Also it kind of feels like starving your child."Dog parent, Reddit
"My friends and family were convinced I was starving my dog."Lab owner, r/labrador
"Vet weighed her at 81 lbs and got really serious. Essentially said my dog was going to die early if she stays this weight."Golden retriever mom, Reddit
You did not overfeed him. The spay, the years and the bag chart changed the math. The drops change it back.

What to expect
The first 90 days on Pawdua & Co.
One dropper over dinner. Nothing else changes. Here is how it usually goes, in owners' words.
Week 1: The routine
One dropper over his usual food. Chicken flavour, so most dogs lick the bowl before you set it down. Keep the portion the vet gave you.
- No pills to hide
- No new food to fight over
Weeks 2 to 3: Energy first
“He's a lot happier now and has ten times the energy as before.” The walk stretches by a block. He gets up from the floor without the groan.
- Gets up faster
- Keeps up on the walk
- Less panting on the stairs
Weeks 4 to 8: The waist
“I didn't even think he had lost that much until he was reweighed.” The tuck behind the ribs comes back. The vet says the number before you do.
- A visible waist from above
- Ribs you can feel again
- Fewer starving-dog theatrics at dinner
Weeks 8 to 12: The new normal
“The first time I saw her run at the park, I called my husband.” Stairs he takes without thinking. The couch in one jump.
- Lean and moving
- Joints under less load
- Years added to the back end, not months

“Ten times the energy as before.”
Diet food left him “acting ravenous.” Chews got spat out. Walks alone “wouldn’t budge” the scale. This is the dropper dog parents add to dinner instead.

Senior mix, 11Reddit
OVERWEIGHT HALF HIS LIFE
I have a chronically overweight dog that I've struggled with for over half his life. He's 11 now. I strictly rationed treats and snacks and walked him as much as he would tolerate.
Corgir/corgi
ALWAYS HUNGRY
Did Pickles struggle with less food? My corgi is always hungry and never full!!
Golden retrieverReddit
MEASURES EVERY MEAL
I switched to weight management food 6 months ago. I measure every meal. Replaced treats with carrots. Walk her every morning. And yet she hasn't lost a single pound.
Mini dachshund, 38 lbReddit
GRANDMA FEEDS HER
My fiancé's grandmother has a mini dachshund that is THIRTY EIGHT POUNDS. Insists that the dog won't eat her breakfast or dinner unless she has a helping of whatever the gma is having.
Boxer mixReddit
WALKS, STILL HEAVY
My baby is overweight and she goes on intense walks. She doesn't eat much, I swear but doesn't lose weight. She checks out all clear at the vet. Any tips? I'm worried about her.

Got questions
Everything you need to know.
Will he still act like he is starving?
“My corgi is always hungry and never full!!” is the line we hear most. The same L-carnitine that moves the fat also cut food intake in a Labrador feeding trial, and most owners tell us the pacing after dinner settles inside the first month. Keep a sensible portion; a starving dog does not lose weight, he raids the garbage.
We tried the weight-management food. Why would this be different?
“We tried all the weight management foods and my labs weight wouldn't budge.” Diet food only cuts the calories going in. The drops change what his body does with them: L-carnitine carries stored fat into the cells to be burned, and the joint stack makes moving feel good enough that he does more of it.
How much do I give?
Under 22 lb, half a dropper. 22 to 55 lb, one dropper. 55 to 88 lb, one and a half. 88 lb and up, two droppers. Once a day with a meal. A bottle lasts about 60 days for a medium dog and 30 days for a giant one, which is why the two- and three-bottle bundles exist.
Does he have to be on a diet for it to work?
He does not have to starve. Keep the portion your vet recommended and cut the table scraps. The drops work on what his body does with the calories it gets and on the load his joints are already carrying.
He is 11 and on thyroid medication. Is it safe?
It is made for all life stages. If your dog takes thyroid medication or blood thinners, is pregnant or nursing, or has a diagnosed condition, show your vet the label first. The full panel is printed per mL on the box.
Will he actually eat it?
It is a water-based liquid with a natural chicken flavour. Most dogs treat it as gravy. If yours is suspicious, start with half the dose over wet food for three days.
What is not in it?
No xylitol, no sugar, no grain, no gluten, no artificial colours, no stimulants, no green tea extract. Purified water, natural flavors, vegetable glycerin, citric acid and potassium sorbate carry the actives.
Where is it made?
In an FDA-registered, GMP-compliant, HACCP-certified facility, and every batch is third-party lab tested.
What if it does not work for my dog?
Then it is free. Try it for 30 days. If you do not see the walks stretch and the scale move, email us your order number and we refund the full price. No photos, no forms.
You have done the hard part
“It creeps up on you.” Start with tonight's dinner.
“So if she's this weight at 2 years old, where will she be at 5 and 10 years old if you make no change?” One dropper a day is the change.
- One dropper over dinner, natural chicken flavour
- L-carnitine, omega-3 and the four-part joint stack
- Made in an FDA-registered facility, third-party tested
