Welcome to our new Weight Management Program!!
We are happy to announce our new weight management program. Nationwide studies show that 44% of dogs and 57% of cats are overweight! This extra weight puts pets at risk for serious health problems.
Owners are so familiar with the appearance of their pets that they often fail to recognize obesity unaided. The simple reason why pets gain weight to the point that they become obese is because they are consuming more calories than they burn. Further, overweight and obese pets are expected to live shorter lives than normal pets. Heavy pets tend to physically interact less with their families and are less energetic and playful. Because they tend to lay around more, it is easy to overlook illnesses since we attribute their lethargy to their "normal laziness".

Hi!, My name is Ashlee and I will be heading up our new weight management program with the support of our excellent veterinary staff. We are offering this program at no cost to you. Your pet will be examined by one of our doctors and if they feel your pet is a good candidate for our program, their information will be given to me. I will contact you to discuss your pet and your pet's diet and lifestyle. After our conversation I will work with the veterinarians to customize a diet and excerise program specifically for you and your pet.
How the program will work:
You and your pet will come into our office for an initial picture and measurements. After their initial weight in, we would like you and your pet to stop in for bi-weekly weigh-ins. Feel free to stop in whenever it is convenient for you. Once a month we will take new measurements. Rewards will be given for weight loss and for when your pet reaches their ideal weight again. Feel free to call with any questions or stop in to discuss your pet with me at anytime. We are excited about this program and hope you enjoy all of it's benefits.
