The Vet Practice

Our weight loss program is designed for pets which need to lose weight. Just like us humans, this can only be achieved through a sensible diet and exercise.

The most effective way to achieve weight loss is to provide a food which is specifically formulated to achieve weight loss through reduced calories and increased fibre content.

We can devise a diet and exercise plan for your pet using foods specifically formulated for this purpose making losing weight both easy and affordable.

Important:

All pets starting a weight loss program need to be assessed by a Vet in order to rule out any underlying medical condition which may be contributing to the weight gain.

We recommend a minimum of fortnightly “weigh ins” to record your pet’s weight and make changes if necessary.

You will be assigned a specific nurse who is trained as a nutritional advisor and who can provide you with any support you need throughout the program

All these follow up visits to check your pet's progress are Free of charge.

Unfortunately obesity in pets is on the increase as pet owners associate caring for their pets with overfeeding. With so many different pet food products and treats to select from our pets are getting bigger and that means unhealthier.

Obesity can lead to other health problems such as:

• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• Joint problems
• Liver and kidney problems

And most importantly loss of quality of life.

So if your pet's weight is a concern - give us a call and make an appointment for a weight loss consultation soon.
