Weight Clinic

Weight clinics are run by our lovely nursing team as a further way to support your pet’s health. Pets carrying additional weight are at a higher risk of many health conditions such as heart disease and cancer. It can also make other chronic conditions worse, such as arthritis and cruciate/joint disease. The nursing team will guide you through the process, from calculating your pet’s ideal weight through to helping to make adjustments in order to achieve this. This process is bespoke to you and your pets routine and activity levels.

How can it help?

Working out a pet’s calorie requirements can be tricky and many owners do not feel confident to do this. The pet food world and all the information around this topic can also be very overwhelming, along with typical worries of your pet’s hunger levels/treat allowances. These are just a few of the reasons that many owners struggle to start and stick to a weight loss program. The nurse will not only get you started but will also provide ongoing follow up support, adjusting things are needed until your pet has achieved and maintained their weight goals.

What conditions does it help with?

We have helped many pets achieve their ideal weights and have seen a huge difference in their health, energy and comfort levels. It really can be lifechanging for some pets. A healthy weight will help all pets, but it can be particularly helpful with the following conditions:

• Heart conditions

• Cruciate disease/rupture

• All forms of Arthritis

• Joint conditions such as hip/elbow dysplasia

• Diabetes

• Thyroid conditions

• Urinary issues

• Breathing issues – particularly in brachycephalic breeds
