nutrition and weight management
Ok…we’ll admit it…there’s nothing cuter than a chubby pet.
In reality, however, weight issues can affect your companion’s health and longevity. Likewise, the food you’re feeding your pet can mean the difference between simply existing and reaching their fullest potential. Yet, given the number of food products available on the market today, and limited information regarding what the right weight range should be, this aspect of your pet’s health care can easily become confusing and unnecessarily complicated.
What you need is the guidance of an expert: someone who understands the intricacies of companion animal nutrition. You need the team at Main Line Veterinary Hospital in your corner! We can develop a customized diet and exercise plan that will help your pet achieve and maintain optimum health for life!
Our professional nutrition and weight management services begin with a thorough evaluation of your pet’s current health. We will conduct a physical exam, ask you questions about your companion’s lifestyle and home environment, and take into consideration a number of other important factors, such as his or her age, breed, and current weight and whether or not there are any existing medical conditions. Once we’ve gathered this information, we will be able to make specific recommendations on what food, how much and how often, would be best for your pet.
Then we’ll move on to your loved one’s weight. This is especially important because pets that are even just a few pounds too heavy can be at a much greater risk of developing serious, sometimes even life threatening medical conditions. Likewise, a pet that weighs too little may be more susceptible to injury or illness. We’ll determine exactly what weight range would be ideal for your pet, and develop a plan to help achieve and maintain that healthier weight over time.
Finally, we’ll evaluate your pet’s changing needs as he or she ages. The nutrition and weight control needs of a puppy or kitten are vastly different than those of an adult or senior pet. Our ongoing maintenance will help us stay on top of these changes and allow us to make the appropriate adjustments along the way so that we continue to achieve the results we’re aiming for, year after year.
If you’re not exactly sure of what type of food would best meet your companion’s needs, or how to manage his or her weight most effectively, you don’t have to go it alone! Give us a call and schedule a professional nutritional analysis today. We’ll have your pet looking and feeling his or her very best in no time!
