Nutrition is one of the most important aspects of your pet’s health and can set the path for a lifetime of good quality nutrition and disease prevention. We offer nutritional consultations to make sure your pet is getting the most appropriate and balanced diet. During your visit we will work together to create a nutritional plan tailored specifically to your pet’s needs which will include their age, breed, gender, feeding needs, and any health issues or concerns. You will work with the veterinarian to determine the proper nutrition and portions. We also carry a range of high quality life-stage diets as well as prescription diets.
Obesity is one of the biggest health concerns in our pets today. Here at Burnhamthorpe Animal Hospital we promote healthy weight loss in pets all year round! Our “Slim Fit” program and Metabolic program are weight-loss programs designed for dogs and cats. This service is run by our registered veterinary technicians and is free of charge.
