Overview

Maintaining a healthy body weight is an essential part of a pet’s overall physical health. Good nutrition will provide your pet with a happier, safer, and longer life. Many nutritional supplements can help fight against disease, maintain a proper weight, and promote the overall well-being of any animal, too.

Why is maintaining a healthy weight important?

Obesity is a common problem among pets. Being overweight is a serious problem for animals and can cause significant health problems. With a proper diet and exercise, all pets should be within a healthy weight range. The best way to make sure your pet’s needs are being met is to consult with us about a specific diet for your pet and their lifestyle. Our staff will help you find nutrition options that best meet your needs.

When is a diet change needed?

Pets should be fed a balanced diet based on several factors, including their life stage, breed, size, activity level, and any health issues or allergies they may have. Diet changes are recommended when they enter a new life stage. For example, transitioning is recommended from puppy or kitten to adult, or from adult to senior. These life stages are dependent on species and breed. Diet changes may also be recommended if your pet develops issues that could be treated with a prescription diet, such as food allergies or obesity.
