Weight Management

Unfortunately the number of overweight pets has increased dramatically in recent times. Latest statistics show that a startling 40% of dogs and 33% of cats are overweight.

An overweight pet is far more likely to suffer from health problems many of which can be serious. These may include:

Heart Disease
Diabetes
Joint problems
Respiratory disorders
Increased anaesthetic and surgical risk
High blood pressure
Constipation
Fatty liver

Please contact the clinic if you would like some advice on weight management for your pet. A consultation with the vet is usually recommended first to rule out certain health problems which may cause weight gain.

Once the all clear is given one we can formulate a weight loss programme for your pet using one of the prescription weight loss diets.
