Weight Loss

Overweight_1_1.jpgWe have veterinary nurses who are trained to develop individual weight loss strategies with specific diets and weight loss targets.


Our weight loss clinics are aimed to get your pet back into shape and help manage conditions such as arthritis and avoid diseases such as diabetes.

We use diets that are specifically designed to slim your pet.  These diets are more reduced in calories than off the shelf "light diets", are formulated to help your overweight cat or dog burn fat more effectively, put on lean muscle and make them feel fuller.  They also come with a money back guarantee should your pet refuse to eat them.

We set target weights, advise how much to feed and how long it should take to get to an ideal weight.  With regular weigh-ins at one of our clinics we make sure that the rate of weight loss is correct and will make the necessary adjustments to the amount of diet food you feed your pet.

Based on the body scoring system we use a body score of 4-5 which is ideal, with 9 being seriously obese.  If your pet has a body score of 7-9 then our weight loss programme is what your dog or cat needs.

If you are interested in our weight management programmes please contact one of our clinics and ask to speak to one of the nurses who look after the weight loss programmes.
