Weight Loss Clinic
Overweight pets are predisposed to a variety of ailments and diseases, particularly later in life. Our nurses are highly trained in helping you to help your pet achieve their ideal weight.
A weight-loss plan is individually designed for each pet and includes a fully balanced diet and exercise plan so that your pet can lose weight without feeling hungry.
Please contact the clinic for more information.
Why a healthy weight matters
Even a few extra kilos can shorten a pet’s life. Overweight dogs and cats are more likely to develop arthritis, diabetes, heart and breathing problems, skin disease and some cancers, and they face higher risks during anaesthesia.
How our weight loss program works
- A body condition score and weigh-in with one of our nurses
- A calculated daily calorie target for your pet
- A balanced weight loss diet that keeps your pet feeling full
- An exercise plan that suits your pet’s age and mobility
- Regular free weigh-ins to track progress and adjust the plan
Frequently asked questions
How fast should my pet lose weight?
Slow and steady is safest. Most pets should lose around 1 to 2 percent of their body weight per week. Rapid weight loss can be dangerous, especially for cats.
Can I just feed my pet less of their normal food?
Cutting back a normal diet can leave pets hungry and short on essential nutrients. A purpose made weight loss diet is lower in calories but still complete and balanced.
