Weight Management
Why keep on top of weight management?
Keeping your pet at a healthy weight is key to avoiding many different health conditions. It is estimated that about half of all UK pets are either overweight or obese. Like human obesity, weight problems in pets pose a serious threat to health and can lead to many other health disorders such as diabetes, arthritis, breathing problems and incontinence, to name just a few.
A pet is classed as “clinically obese” when they reach 20% above their normal body weight. This extra weight carrying will also decrease your pet’s life span. It is also essential to ensure that you are treating your pet with the correct dosage of parasite prevention product(s). Feel free to visit our Dromore clinic for a ‘flea/worm weigh in’ at any point – one of our reception team will be happy to help.
