“Excuse me… are you going to eat that?”
Nutrition & Weight Management
How do I make sure that my pet has a proper diet and exercise plan?
Diet, active lifestyle and maintaining a healthy weight are essential in your pet’s overall wellbeing. It can be challenging to figure out if you are purchasing and feeding your pet the best food possible.
Developing the Right Diet
Just as each pet is unique, not all pet foods are created equal. The goal is to determine precisely what your companion’s nutritional needs are and then customize a food plan that will most effectively meet those needs. This starts with a thorough physical exam and also includes a detailed analysis of your pet’s lifestyle and current health status.
A Healthier Weight
Pets who are even just a few pounds too heavy can be at a much greater risk of developing a number of serious health problems. Conversely, underweight animals tend to be more prone to illness or injury. We want to protect your loved one against these dangers by helping them maintain a healthier weight over time.
The information we gather during our nutritional analysis will also help us determine what weight range would be ideal for your particular pet. If your pet is a senior or has a medical condition, we can come up with a plan that will be perfect for their unique needs.
Ongoing Maintenance
As your “fur” baby navigates through the various stages of life, it’s important that his or her diet and exercise plan also change accordingly. At certain intervals during your pet’s life, we will reexamine our approach and make any necessary adjustments so that we can continue to achieve optimum results.
You want your pet to enjoy many happy, healthy years by your side. It starts with a foundation of good nutrition and a healthy weight.
