Weight Management

Latest statistics

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

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

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.
