Everyone meet Rossi, the 7 year old Huski & Stella, the 6 year old Shih Tzu!
This dynamic duo were recently adopted by one of our longtime clients! However it seemed more like they chose their new owners, gravitating to the family immediately. They are so lucky to have been welcomed into a loving home and have settled in fantastically! Rossi is a cool calm fella & Stella is the happiest little darling!
Now let’s talk OBESITY.
Obesity is a serious problem in animals and can predispose them to a range of different health problems such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, joint stress, cancer, tumors and many more.
It is caused by animals eating more calories than they need, the extra calories are then stored as body fat. While there are other factors that can contribute to obesity that we don’t have control over, we can control the amount they eat and their exercise levels.
Rossi is about to begin his weight loss journey, originally weighing in at 40kg, we’re aiming to get him down to an ideal 26-28kg.
He has started his new diet on Hills Metabolic, sticking to a strict feeding guide and exercise plan we should be seeing those kilos drop like flies!
When we have patients on a weight loss plan, clients keep up with regular check ins with our weight loss Specialist – Sammy, which help us track progress and adjust the plan as we go!
Already to date he has lost 1.5kg which is amazing!! We will be cheering him on as he continues to reach his goal weight.
If you have a pet who is overweight, we’re here to help! Give us a call and book in for a FREE weight loss consultation with our expert, Sam.
Stay tuned as we document his journey!😃
