Weight Loss & Management
.
Are you having a hard time deciding what diet to choose and if it is the right one for your pet’s needs? Has your pet been diagnosed with a disease and you want to find the best diet and supplements for your pet? Have you been struggling to get your pet’s weight off?
We believe in the importance of looking at a patient as a whole. Your pet’s nutrition and healthy weight management are crucial to his/her overall health and longevity.
Weight Control and Diet recommendations
For those with pets with weight concerns, we know how hard it is to have a pet lose weight. Dr. Wilson has experienced this with her own pets – you are not alone. Obesity is a growing problem among companion animals. We want to help you battle this and win for both you and your pet. Just a few extra pounds can put pets at a greater risk of developing serious medical conditions and even shorten their lifespans.
Dr. Wilson will provide you with a customized weight loss plan specifically for your pet. This may include diet modification or a comprehensive exercise plan for you. This may include land exercises or utilizing our top of the line underwater treadmill.
Our underwater treadmill offers low-impact, high-resistance aquatic therapy or workouts for rehabilitation from injury, optimal training and conditioning, and weight loss. It provides the natural properties of water (buoyancy, resistance and hydrostatic pressure) for a rigorous cardiovascular workout with reduced impact and stress on joints.
Maintenance
We want to make sure our nutrition and weight control plan is working for you and your pet. As your pet ages and lifestyle changes, we can adjust your diet and exercise accordingly. Dr. Wilson offers maintenance plans that include evaluating the diet and exercise strategy she has developed and making adjustments as needed.
We want to help your 4-legged one achieve the best optimal health throughout his or her entire life.
