Like us, pets need a healthy, balanced diet. Good nutrition is not only about good quality food, but also about the right balance of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. This is especially important for your rapidly growing puppy or kitten.
Some of the health concerns associated with an improperly balanced diet include:
- Growth deformities
- Bladder stones
- Obesity
- Malnutrition
- Poor quality coat
For advice on the best food for your pet please speak to our qualified nursing staff.
Obesity
Obesity in dogs and cats is a major cause of disease, and exacerbates other diseases such as arthritis. If you are unsure if your pet is the right weight, please ask our staff at your next visit. You are welcome to regularly weigh your pet using our scales – just pop in!
At Swanbourne Veterinary Centre we are happy to provide a weight loss program tailored for your pet. Often our weight loss patients suddenly start acting 5 years younger once they’re a healthier weight!
