At home, I fast my own pets one or two days a month, not to adjust them to a healthy diet, which they already eat and love, but just to clear out their systems a bit. I'll give them dinner Sunday night, then nothing except water until Tuesday morning. By Monday night, they're zipping around like loose electrons. By Tuesday, they're thrilled to eat, but the energy they've gained stays with them for weeks. Fasting for pets is a personal decision, but you should certainly consider trying a one- or two-day fast every few weeks and see how your pet responds.
