Extra weight can affect more than your pet's appearance!

It can affect how comfortably they move, play, and exercise!🐾

When a pet is already dealing with mobility or joint problems, maintaining an appropriate weight becomes especially important!
If you've noticed your pet slowing down, be sure and talk with us about their weight and mobility.

A healthy weight isn't just about the number on the scale.
Maintaining a healthy body condition can support your pet's mobility, comfort, energy, and overall quality of life.
Not sure if your pet is a healthy weight? Ask our veterinary team - we're happy to help you determine what's appropriate for YOUR pet!

"How do I know if my pet is overweight?"

It's not always as simple as looking at the number on the scale! Breed, body structure, muscle mass, age and other factors all matter.

During your pet's wellness, visit, we can assess their body and muscle condition and help you understand what that means for their health.

🐾 **A Message From Our Mountain View Veterinary Services Team**

We want to take a moment to address something we've been hearing from some of our clients recently: **Longer-than-expected wait times.**

First and foremost, **we hear you, and we understand that your time is valuable.** We know that sitting in a waiting room longer than anticipated can be frustrating, and we truly appreciate your patience.

**Mountain View Veterinary Services is currently a single-doctor practice**, and our veterinarian works hard to see as many patients as possible each day. We intentionally work to keep our schedule full and accommodate as many of our clients and their pets as we can.

The challenge is that veterinary medicine doesn't always run on a predictable schedule.

A routine appointment can sometimes turn into something more complicated. A pet may need additional testing, a patient may require extra time and care, or an unexpected urgent situation may arise. When that happens, it can affect the appointments that follow.

**We could simply schedule fewer appointments and have a shorter wait**—but that would also mean turning more of our clients away or making them wait longer for an available appointment. Instead, we do our best to accommodate as many pets as possible while still providing each patient the care and attention they deserve.

We also want you to know that when your pet is in the exam room, we don't want you to feel rushed through their appointment just because we're running behind. **Every patient deserves our full attention.**

So, if your appointment takes a little longer than expected, please know that we're working hard to provide that same level of care to you and your pet. ❤️

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support of our privately owned practice. We are incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to care for your pets and our community.

Thank you for being part of the Mountain View family. 💜
