Abstract

Introduction and Objective: Obesity and hyperlipidemia are frequently diagnosed in domestic dogs; however there are difficulties in the treatment of these metabolic disorders in these animals. One of the possible alternative ways of treatment is the use of the BioAlberic method. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of the method in the treatment of lipid metabolism disorders in these animals. Method: A prospective experimental study was designed; the sample was composed of 10 obese adult dogs of different races and sexes suffering from obesity and hyper-lipidemia. Treatment consisted of oral administration of BioAlberic Coltricé every 6 hours for 30 days. Results: Body weight, as well as cholesterol and triglyceride levels were compared at the beginning and end of the study (30 days). It was possible to significantly reduce body weight in all animals (from 35.80 to 30.25 kg in the Dalmatians, and from 16.2 to 8.3 kg in half-breed dogs), as well as cholesterol levels (from 7.92 to 6.20 mmol/L) and triglyceride (from 2.68 to 1.68 mmol/L). Conclusions: Coltricé administration was effective in reducing body weight and hyperlipidemia in the assessed animal population.
