GLENDALE, CALIF. — Yesterday, Fera Pets introduced Healthy Weight & Muscles for Dogs, a science-backed daily soft chew formulated to support lean muscle mass, healthy metabolism and ideal body condition for dogs at every activity level. The supplement was developed to meet growing demand from pet parents for proactive, science-backed ways to support their dogs’ ideal weight and body composition, according to Fera Pets.

Built on clinically studied ingredients and formulated specifically for dogs, the Healthy Weight & Muscles formula addresses body composition from every angle: muscle protein synthesis, fat metabolism, cellular hydration and metabolic function. It helps dogs maintain lean muscle and ideal body condition as they age, according to Fera Pets.

Key active ingredients in the formula include:

• myHMB® (calcium beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate monohydrate), a clinically studied metabolite that supports muscle protein synthesis and helps maintain lean muscle mass
• PRIOME® Metabolic Health Postbiotic (heat-treated bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis), a clinically studied postbiotic that supports healthy weight management
• Betafin® (betaine anhydrous), which supports metabolic function, cellular hydration and healthy body composition
• L-Carnitine, which supports fat metabolism by moving fatty acids directly into cellular mitochondria to fuel active, working muscles

“As dogs age, they gradually lose muscle and gain fat, often without any change on the scale,” said  Michelle Dulake, DVM, co-founder and chief executive officer of Fera Pets. “At the same time, their metabolism slows, and that shift in body composition affects everything from mobility to energy to how long they stay active. Healthy Weight & Muscles combines ingredients like myHMB®, PRIOME® and Betafin® to support lean muscle, metabolic health, and ideal body condition as dogs get older. Pet parents want their dogs to stay strong and active for as long as possible, and now there's a formula truly worthy of that intention.”

First unveiled at SUPERZOO 2026 in August alongside its recently launched Longevity for Dogs supplement, Healthy Weight & Muscles for Dogs is now available on Fera Pets’ website and Amazon.
