Veterinarian-founded pet wellness company Fera Pets has introduced Healthy Weight & Muscles for Dogs, a daily soft chew developed to support lean muscle maintenance, healthy metabolism and ideal body condition in dogs.
Announced October 13, the product was first unveiled at SuperZoo 2026 and is designed for dogs across different activity levels, with particular emphasis on maintaining muscle mass and healthy body composition as dogs age.
The launch expands Fera Pets’ portfolio of nutritional supplements and reflects the company’s focus on preventive wellness and age-related changes in canine health.
Four Ingredients Target Muscle and Metabolic Health
Healthy Weight & Muscles for Dogs combines four active ingredients selected to address different aspects of muscle maintenance, weight management and metabolic function.
The formulation includes:
- myHMB (calcium beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate monohydrate): A clinically studied metabolite included to support muscle protein synthesis and help maintain lean muscle mass.
- PRIOME Metabolic Health Postbiotic: A heat-treated preparation of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis intended to support healthy weight management.
- Betafin (betaine anhydrous): An ingredient included to support metabolic function, cellular hydration and healthy body composition.
- L-carnitine: A compound involved in transporting fatty acids into mitochondria, where they can be used for energy production.
According to Fera Pets, the combination is intended to address multiple factors influencing canine body composition rather than focusing exclusively on body weight.
Addressing Age-Related Changes in Body Composition
The company developed the supplement in response to growing interest among pet owners in maintaining healthy weight, mobility and physical condition throughout a dog’s life.
Age-related changes in body composition can include declining muscle mass and increasing body fat, sometimes without significant changes in overall body weight.
“As dogs age, they gradually lose muscle and gain fat, often without any change on the scale,” said Dr. Michelle Dulake, veterinarian and co-founder 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.”
Dulake said the new formulation combines ingredients selected to support lean muscle, metabolic health and healthy body condition as dogs grow older.
The company positions the supplement as a daily nutritional option for owners seeking to maintain their dogs’ strength, activity levels and overall physical condition.
Expanding a Veterinarian-Formulated Supplement Portfolio
Founded by Dulake, Fera Pets develops nutritional supplements for dogs and cats using formulations informed by veterinary expertise and nutritional research.
The company says its products are manufactured in the United States and undergo independent third-party testing for purity, potency and safety. Its supplement portfolio also carries the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC) Quality Seal.
Healthy Weight & Muscles for Dogs is available through Fera Pets and Amazon. Pricing information was not included in the announcement.
