"Lucy" is happy and smiling after achieving her first weight loss goal! When she started to gain too much weight, Dr. Ludwig recommended switching to Hill's Metabolic food to help her reach her goal. Excessive weight can cause multiple health problems for our pets including:
- Exercise intolerance, decreased stamina.
- Respiratory compromise (breathing difficulty)
- Heat intolerance.
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Diabetes or insulin resistance.
- Liver disease or dysfunction.
- Osteoarthritis (lameness)
If you have concerns about your pets' weight, stop in and ask us about options that are available to help them get back to a healthier weight. Pets that maintain a healthy weight live longer in general and we all want our pets to live long happy lives!
