Pet Nutrition and Weight Management

Maintaining a healthy weight is an important part of your pet’s long-term wellbeing. Excess weight can place additional strain on joints, heart and internal organs, and may contribute to conditions such as arthritis, diabetes and reduced mobility. Preventative weight management can help support comfort, energy levels and overall health.

We offer nutrition and weight management support tailored to your pet’s individual needs. This may include body condition scoring, weight tracking, and guidance on appropriate portion sizes. Our team can also recommend suitable commercial diets or prescription foods where required.

Weight clinics are available to help monitor progress over time. These visits allow us to assess weight changes, adjust feeding plans and provide ongoing support. Regular check-ins can help keep weight loss gradual and safe, while ensuring your pet continues to receive balanced nutrition.

Take a look at Archie, who reduced his weight from 47.2 kg to 33.1 kg by following a structured weight management plan. This represents a loss of approximately 30% of his starting body weight. Gradual weight loss, controlled portions and regular monitoring helped support a safe and sustainable result. You can view Archie’s before and after photos below.

Personalised diet plans can be created based on your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle and current health. We also consider factors such as activity levels, treats and multi-pet households when developing a plan.

Healthy weight loss is typically gradual. Slow and steady changes help maintain muscle mass and reduce the risk of nutritional deficiencies. Our team will guide you through realistic expectations and timeframes.

If you are unsure whether your pet is at an ideal weight, our team can assess their body condition and discuss suitable options. Call us on (07) 4152 0009 or book an appointment online.
