Individual Weight Loss & Arthritis Management Plans
If your pet is carrying excessive weight, this can lead to a multitude of health problems such as osteoarthritis and diabetes. We are able to advise on the ideal weight range for your pet and tailor a feeding program with a prescription weight-loss diet specifically for your pet. We stock a range of such diets, including combination diets for animals with multiple health considerations.
Arthritis is extremely common in dogs and cats and something that can be frequently overlooked as being a normal sign of an aging pet. Diagnosis of arthritis may come about after a clinical examination and consultation with one of our Veterinarians, with some cases requiring x-rays for diagnosis. We like to take a multi-modal approach to managing this potentially debilitating and progressive disease, including maintaining an appropriate weight, oral nutraceutical supplements, arthritis injection courses and anti-inflammatory and pain-relief medications as required.
