Unfortunately, obesity is very common in dogs and cats today, and treatment can be difficult and frustrating at times. However, reducing your pet's weight will help to prevent arthritis, self-grooming problems, urinary tract infections (females) and will often help to improve overall attitude. Treatment includes gradually reducing the amount of food your pet eats and potentially changing to a high fiber diet, while incorporating exercise into the daily routine. Ask us about our high quality Hill's Science Diet foods for dogs and cats. Note that some diseases (such as hypothyroidism and Cushing's) can cause your pet to gain weight despite how little they eat. If you are concerned, simple blood tests can be performed to screen for these diseases. Treatment for these diseases generally helps with weight loss.
We offer nutrition counseling for every patient that comes in to our clinic. Unfortunately, pet obesity is very common today. It can lead to some serious health issues, so weight loss and monitoring are very important aspects of your pet's health. We sell a full line of Hill's Science Diet foods for dogs and cats, both prescription and non-prescription.
Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Heart Disease Treatment
Dogs and cats have very different nutritional requirements than people do. Most commercially prepared dog and cat foods are specifically balanced to match your pets nutritional needs. Feeding your pet table scraps and/or people food diets can lead to heart disease, bad breath with severe gingivitis and other dental problems, diabetes, pancreatitis (which can be fatal), obesity (as people foods are generally very high in fat), chronic indigestion with vomiting and/or diarrhea, and many other health issues. In addition, some people foods can be very toxic to pets, including (but not limited to) grapes, onions, avocados, macadamia nuts, and chewing gum.
Kidney Disease Treatment
In general, we do not recommend giving your pet any over the counter medications. Always ask your veterinarian before giving any human over the counter medication, as some common human drugs can cause severe liver or kidney damage, gastrointestinal upset or ulcers, seizures, and possibly death.
Recommended for those that need joint and connective tissue support at any stage. It's also recommended by veterinarians for geriatric and working dogs as well as a follow-up to orthopedic surgery.
Spaying and Neutering
Neutering your pet will help prevent testicular cancer, prostatic diseases, roaming behavior, spraying and marking, and aggression around female animals. Neutering your pet will also help prevent unwanted puppies and kittens.
We recommend waiting till approximately 6 months of age to spay or neuter your pet. We also recommend that your pet be up to date on vaccinations at the time of surgery (these can be given at the time of surgery). Pre-anesthetic blood work is highly recommended prior to surgery. This allows us to check liver and kidney values along with blood sugar levels and hydration status. This also can be done the day of surgery.
