Weight Loss & Management

Like humans, overweight dogs are at risk for health problems and do not generally live as long as dogs that are trim. In addition to being at a greater risk for heart disease, overweight dogs show greater incidence of arthritis, circulatory problems, pancreatic disorders, liver disease, and more.

Vets estimate that nearly 50% of the dogs in the UK are overweight

Being obese puts your dog at risk of health problems & is likely to reduce how long they live.

Has Your Vet Mentioned Your Dog is Overweight

To determine if your dog is overweight, run your hand along his side. If you can not feel his ribs, it is time to start a weight reduction program. If your dog does not have a waist, that is another indication it is time to start a weight reduction program.

Veterinarian with Dog
Initial Assessment

It's important to know your dog.

At your initial assessment, we take the time to get to know your dog and find out as much as we can about their lives. Including what they eat, how much exercise they get, any medical history and anything else that could be causing their weight gain.

It is important we get a full picture before we start planning their weight loss program.
