Working with your regular veterinarian, we can design a weight loss program that can include:
- A calorie-restriction plan (including appropriate treats and rewards);
- Exercise program both home-based and in clinic;
- Regular weigh-ins to monitor progress; and
- Lots of support and encouragement.
Just like many of us humans, pets who are overweight are at risk of developing serious illness and may die at a younger age than those that are at an optimal weight. Pets are also more likely to develop arthritis which can lead to reduced mobility and decrease in the ability to participate in the things they love.
A weight management program can not only significantly decrease pain and increase life expectancy in these pets but also increase not only their quality of life but yours as well.
