Obesity affects the general health of pets in a similar way to humans and causes a higher risk for diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and arthritis.

Once a suitable feeding regime and diet is worked out, we encourage regular free clinics to have "weigh-ins" so as to check your pets progress.

70% of dogs and cats have some form of dental disease which, if left untreated, can cause problems for the heart, liver and kidneys. In the dental check your pet will have a thorough examination of its mouth including its teeth, gums and tongue. You will also receive dental care advice appropriate for your pet. There are many ways to look after your pets teeth including suitable toys, chews, diet and teeth cleaning.
