Dietary Consulatation

Pet Weight Management

During every exam, each pet receives a Body Profile Score. If your pet's weight is outside of the normal range, we assess them for any underlying medical causes and will make diet recommendations when necessary. We recommend follow-up evaluations to help your pet achieve and maintain a normal weight. As in human nutrition, the healthiest way for a dog to shed extra weight is to follow a sound dietary and exercise program designed to reduce body weight gradually under medical supervision. This can still include a few treats, which is a good thing! We maintain an inventory of prescription diets for dogs and cats that have special medical needs.
