Nutritional support for your pet
Have you got an overweight dog and are looking for a way to help your dog lose weight?
In 2020, the Australian Veterinary Association reported that 41% of dogs and 32% of cats are either overweight or obese. Animal obesity is becoming a more and more serious problem for pets and pet owners.
Much like humans, overweight pets are at higher risks for developing health problems such as heart disease, diabetes and arthritis. Additionally, being overweight can increase the risk of undergoing surgery.
At Vaucluse Vet, we care a lot about nutrition and are here to help you choose the right food for your pets. We also carry a full range of prescription and specially formulated diets from Hill’s and Royal Canin for both dog nutrition and cat nutrition. If you are worried about your pet’s weight, give us a call and our staff will be able to help you with dietary recommendations and techniques to help your pet lose weight. We know there is a lot of confusing and misinformation out there regarding pet food and treats. We can help navigate this information for you, as we know that there is not one pet food perfect for every pet.
Additionally, there are many pet health conditions that can benefit from the correct diet and supplements, such as kidney disease, osteoarthritis, and diabetes. Ask our staff if you would like to make an appointment to discuss your pet’s nutritional needs.
