Could your pet benefit from shedding a few kgs? A healthy weight loss program is one where the pet loses 1-2% of their total body weight per week. For example, a 30kg Labrador retriever should lose no more than 300-600 grams per week. Increasing activity and decreasing calories is a great start to preventing weight-related conditions such as diabetes, arthritis and heart disease. For a tailored weight loss program for your pet, contact our friendly team.
