Zesty Paws® Launches New Vet Strength™ Weight Management Bites for Dogs, as 59% May Face Health Issues from Being Overweight

Supplement bites assist with fat metabolism when paired with a healthy diet and regular exercise

ORLANDO, Fla., March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dogs and their humans face many challenges together, but perhaps none is more important than managing their weight to help avoid health problems associated with being overweight.

An estimated 59% of American dogs are either overweight or obese, but only  17% of pet parents believe their dogs are overweight, according to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention. This gap between perception and reality puts a spotlight on the need for increased education on healthy weight management for dogs, along with smart, sustainable wellness-focused lifestyle changes.

To provide pet parents with a new tool to kickstart a holistic wellness approach to weight management, Zesty Paws^®, an award-winning pet supplement brand beloved by besties and trusted by pet parents, has launched Vet Strength™ Weight Management Bites for Dogs, a supplement that is packed with science-driven ingredients to support fat metabolism, digestion and a sense of fullness after eating.

Combined with exercise and a healthy diet, these bites aim to support weight management – subsequently supporting the dog's quality of life by helping to support chronic issues that may occur due to excess weight. The product uses functional ingredients that support gut health and metabolism, including probiotics, amino acids, fiber and B vitamins.

"Pet parents can easily incorporate our new Vet Strength Weight Management Bites for Dogs into their pup's diet and lifestyle, with the dog-approved Bites replacing a standard treat to assist with fat metabolism," said Mafe De Alba-Williams, Director of Growth Marketing at H&H Global, parent company of Zesty Paws^®. "Most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise routine, and because exercise can be a shared experience between dogs and their humans, making the switch can lead to benefits for pets and their parents alike, especially with warmer weather and longer daylight in the months ahead."

Vet Strength™ Weight Management Bites for Dogs is now available for purchase at Amazon, Chewy, Target, Walmart, PetSmart, PetCo and ZestyPaws.com. Flea & Tick Spray for Dogs will be available for purchase on April 1 at Amazon, Chewy, Target, Walmart, PetSmart and ZestyPaws.com.
