Overview

Maintaining a healthy body weight is a very important aspect of a pet’s overall physical health. Good nutrition can help provide your pet with a happier, safer, and longer life.

Why is maintaining a healthy weight important?

Obesity is a common problem among pets. Being overweight is a serious problem for animals, and can cause health problems as they get older. With proper diet and exercise, many pets should be able to meet their dietary needs and be within a healthy weight range. The best way to make sure your pet’s needs are being met is to consult with us about a specific diet for your pet based on their lifestyle and age. Our staff will help your pet battle unhealthy weight gain and counsel you on the best nutritional options available.
