Why Overweight Matters
Weight gain is serious. 1 in 3 pets is overweight or obese. Being as little as 20% overweight can greatly increase the risk of your pet developing serious health conditions such as, diabetes mellitus, arthritis, urinary stones or heart disease.
Excess weight not only has a negative impact on your pets wellbeing, happiness and overall quality of life, but it can genuinely shorten its life expectancy compared to that of a normal, healthy weight pet.
We run a weight clinic to help you to mange your pets weight, and support you in the lifestyle changes that need to be made to ensure your pet reaches their goal, and a healthy optimum weight.
