In the wild, animals will naturally eat what they need and no more. The task of searching for food and other basic necessities involves lots of exercise, so wild animals remain naturally fit and healthy. The food available to them in their natural habitat is perfectly designed to meet their needs in an environment that has not been tampered with.
Domestic animals are provided with food which they do not have to hunt for and that is not always suited for their bodies. This means they often do not exercise as they should. Hunting also prevents boredom and bored domestic animals may eat more than they need to keep themselves amused.
Selective breeding programs have often further affected the ability of our pets to properly process the food that we give them. In addition, certain breeds are known to be more prone to putting on weight than others.
The first step in encouraging healthy body weight in animals is to examine lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. The second is to determine whether other factors like boredom or a sluggish digestive system could be contributing to making your pet plumper than he should be.
Natural remedies can be very effective in supporting body functioning to process food efficiently. Supporting thyroid and liver functioning, maintaining healthy digestive processes and metabolism, and supporting the liver's ability to process dietary fat will all help to keep those extra pounds off your pet.
Natural medicine can also help to improve all-round systemic functioning and restore health and vigour to pets. Along with an improved diet and regular exercise, natural remedies can help your pet to naturally attain a healthy weight and enjoy a life full of vigour.
"We know that we have to treat the whole animal in order to address the problem. We also have to be sensitive to pets who have become accustomed to associating ‘treats’ with love and affection and find other ways to show our love towards them. Many people who ‘comfort eat’ also inadvertently train their pets to do the same, with very unhealthy consequences, believing that they will be depriving their pets by withholding treats and junk food. Nothing could be further from the truth! Instead of offering that titbit, caress your pet - you will both feel much better for it!" Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist.
What is SlenderPet?

What else can I do to help my pet?
According to many experts and followers of holistic health, the best diet for dogs and cats is a raw diet. Cooked food, pasteurized milk and other processed foodstuffs are thought to be damaging to the health of animals.
Studies, like the famous 10 year Pottenger Cat Study, have clearly demonstrated that raw meat (in the case of cats) and a combination of raw meat and raw vegetables (for dogs) is the only diet that will keep animals healthy and disease free generation after generation.
Everything in the anatomy of dogs and cats points to a raw meat-based diet as being what they were designed for. They have sharp teeth, highly concentrated digestive secretions to digest raw meat and short intestines.
Do not change diet suddenly, but slowly introduce fresh, raw and unprocessed food into your pet’s daily diet, while reducing commercial foods and foods with little nutritious value.
Keep diet varied and interesting, but watch out for foods that your pet may be allergic to.
Regular exercise helps to build up a healthy appetite and gets all organs in the body functioning well. It also helps to relieve stress and contributes to a healthy happy pet!
SlenderPet may be alternated every week with our Detox Plus™ formula for pets who have toxin build up due to poor diet and environmental pollution
If you suspect that your pet may have an underlying depression causing overeating and lethargy, our Grief and Pining Granules™ will help to restore a sense of well being without resorting to pharmaceutical drugs.
"I have a chocolate Labrador who loves to eat - ANYTHING!!! She was growing fatter and fatter and was waddling like a duck everywhere she went. My vet told me to ‘harden my heart’ and change her diet and she had to go for a run every day. To be honest, the same could be said for me, so I decided to join her! It was the EcoSlim Drops for me and SlenderPet for her and we are both looking slimmer and healthier. We have our run everyday and we are eating well, but no more junk for me and my ‘Lady’!" Mal
"I wanted to write and thank you for recommending SlenderPet for my overweight cat. Along with the dietary changes you suggested, she has never looked better and is also far more active than she used to be. It must have been as you said that she had a sluggish thyroid. She used to sleep all day and all night and never show an interest in anything. I thought she was just lazy but she is now behaving almost like a kitten again!" Regina L
"Thanks to you and your wonderful team for the kind help and advice which have assisted me to find something that works for my pets. I have two dogs one is very fat and one is normal but they eat the same, yet the one is always hungry for more! When I used SlenderPet and then your Parasites remedy, my dog is not stealing food from his sister anymore and is proving to be very effective with your treatment" Gabby R.

SlenderPet contains the following 100% natural ingredients:
Bladderwrack
(Fucus vesiculosis) is a sea vegetable that is a concentrated source of minerals, including iodine, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron. Iodine assists in the production of thyroid hormones, which are necessary for maintaining healthy metabolism in all cells of the body.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa)
(Curcuma longa) was used more than three thousand years ago by Indian healers in the management of healthy body weight. Modern research has shown that Curcuma has a tonic effect on the liver, supporting the flow of bile, which is responsible for the breakdown of dietary fat. It has also been studied for its ability to support overall health (Ruby, A. J., Kuttan, G., Babu, K. D., Rajasekharan, K. N., and Kuttan, R. “Anti-tumour and antioxidant activity of natural curcuminoids.” Cancer Lett. 7-20-1995;94(1):79-83)
Milk Thistle
(Sylibum marianus) is regarded as one of the most important herbal liver tonics and restoratives and its use may be traced back more than 2000 years. Milk Thistle has been subject to many clinical trials which clearly demonstrate its effectiveness. Clinical studies have shown that it helps the liver to maintain normal functioning. (Katiyar SK, Korman NJ, Mukhtar H, et al. “Protective effects of silymarin against photocarcinogenesis in a mouse skin model.” J Natl Cancer Inst 1997; 89(8):556-566.) Scientific analysis of Milk Thistle shows that it contains a flavonoid complex called silymarin, which is largely responsible for the therapeutic benefits of this herb. Silymarin is a powerful anti-oxidant and can help to promote healthy liver functioning. (Mourelle M, Muriel P, Favari L, et al. “Prevention of CCL4-induced liver cirrhosis by silymarin.” Fundam Clin Pharmacol 1989; 3(3):183-191.)
Dandelion
(Taraxacum officinale) is a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A, D, C, various B Vitamins, iron, lecithin, silicon, potassium, magnesium, zinc and manganese. It supports liver and gall bladder functioning and may also assist in the maintenance of healthy blood pressure within normal levels, as it supports fluid balance in the body. (Racz-Kotilla, E., Racz, G., and Solomon, A. “The action of Taraxacum officinale extracts on the body weight and diuresis of laboratory animals.” Planta Med 1974;26(3):212-217. )(Hook I, McGee A, Henman M, and et al. “Evaluation of dandelion for diuretic activity and variation in potassium content.” Int J Pharmacog 1993;31(1):29-34.) Taraxacum also contains bitter principles which have a beneficial effect on the liver and digestive system. (Kuusi T, Pyylaso H, and Autio K. “The bitterness properties of dandelion.” II. Chemical investigations. Lebensm-Wiss Technol 1985; 18:347-349.)

This prevents stress to both pet and owner! Cats, especially, hate to have medicine forced down their throats and will happily eat the dried herb when it is mixed with a little fish or meat.

1/2 capsule twice daily.
Dogs under 20lbs:
1/2 capsule twice daily.
Dogs 20-50lbs:

Get optimum results with regular use
While conventional medicine works by often treating just the symptoms, natural medicine strives to create holistic balance in the body to support systemic health, relieve ailments, and help prevent future disease. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, the natural ingredients in our remedies support overall health and functioning (rather than just suppressing symptoms).
Pets respond to natural medicine in different ways, some of our satisfied customers have reported observing immediate results in their pets while many others have reported observing optimal benefits taking effect within 3-6 weeks. To ensure your pet receives optimum results it is important to administer natural remedies as directed and remain consistent. You may also find that giving your pet a smaller maintenance dose is beneficial for ongoing support, many customers report using a regular maintenance dose as part of a preventative program for the continued health and well-being of their beloved animals.
SlenderPet is highly recommended along with the following natural remedies for maximum effectiveness.
Results will vary depending on factors like diet, exercise, and overall health of your pet. We will not promise (like many companies do!) that your pet will lose weight overnight, still be able to eat an unhealthy diet, and never have any exercise.
However, we can guarantee that the condition and weight goals of your pet should gradually be met and you should notice a glossier coat, more energy, and a happier-looking pet as time goes by. As attested by many of our customers and their pets, SlenderPet does the trick, without compromising your pets health.
Regular exercise and a healthy diet (see above) will further enhance your pet's health, as well as the effectiveness of SlenderPet.
How long will a bottle last?
Depending on the size of your pet, one bottle of SlenderPet will last 15 - 60 days.
