With so many types of treats out there, it’s easy to get carried away and spoil our pets. It’s no wonder that pet obesity rates increase year after year. When it comes to our loyal companions, losing weight is not always as simple as eating less and moving more. To ensure your pet has a healthy weight loss (or weight gain) journey, it’s best to reach out to our veterinary team. Give us a call at 613-824-7511 so we can start your pet on the path to better health.
How do I know if my pet is overweight or underweight?
The best way to know for sure is during a consultation with one of our veterinarians. Some pets are naturally thin (think of Greyhounds). They may look gaunt but are actually healthy. On the other hand, some pets are naturally on the chubby side (think of Bulldogs). Our vets will know the measurements and weight levels that are normal for your pet’s age, species and breed. When considering your pet’s weight, there are certain signs you can look out for.
