It is very important for your pet to maintain an ideal weight and body condition for good health. Animals who are overweight are at higher risk of developing life-threatening medical conditions including heart disease, diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, joint issues, etc. Ideal weight means a longer healthy life. This why it is so important to monitor the daily intake of your pets to make sure that they are not over-fed. If you think your pet is overweight please contact our experienced staff at Springwood Animal Hospital and we will be happy to help you work out a diet and exercise plan for your furry friend.
