Nutritional Counseling
Diet is an often overlooked part of a pet’s overall health and wellbeing. It should come as no surprise that what your pet eats, as well as how much they eat, directly impacts their health. Achieving the right nutritional balance will allow your pet to better manage any existing medical conditions and significantly improve their quality of life.
You Do Not Need A Referral From A Veterinarian For K9 Fit Camp!
Duration:
The average weight loss program will take 4 to 8 weeks depending on the starting physical condition of your pet.
If you are coming to us as a referral from your veterinarian, we will require an exam, baseline blood work, a urinalysis, and possible x-rays if indicated prior to starting the program. If you are referring yourself, we can include that as part of our initial exam.
