In New Zealand, 28% of dogs and 24% of cats are overweight or obese! It is up to us as their owners to manage their diets to keep them at a healthy weight.
Obesity greatly increases the risk of health complications in cats and dogs. Some conditions that can result from being overweight include:
diabetes,
arthritis,
kidney disease,
high blood pressure,
difficulty exercising and grooming.
The first step is to identify that your pet is overweight. We have quality, premium nutrition we can recommend for your pet, along with a plan for how much to feed per day, costs per day and how long the food will last.
If you are unsure about your pet's weight and would like a FREE initial weight consultation, then please call and book an appointment with one of our friendly nurses.
They will work with you to come up with a weight loss plan for your pet, with regular monitoring to see if targets are being reached.
