Baw Baw Paws Weight Loss Program - Getting your pet ready for summer
Australia is considered one of the most overweight countries in the world, and unfortunately obesity in our beloved pets is becoming more common than ever.
Recent studies have shown that approximately 40% of pet dogs and cats are overweight and 20% are classified as obese.
Just like us, pets experience a wide variety of health problems related to their weight gain.
Overweight and obese animals live shorter lives and have an increased risk of developing diseases such as diabetes, oral disease, heart and lung disease and osteoarthritis.
Keeping your pet within a healthy weight range is very important so you can help prevent these diseases.
At Baw Baw Paws they are running a Weight Loss Program in conjunction with Hills Metabolic food. They have already seen amazing results, with 88% of participating pets losing substantial weight within the first two weeks and all pets dropping weight over the first two months.
The metabolic food is different to other weight loss foods as it is formulated to help your pet feel more full and satisfied after each meal, as well as avoiding weight regain after weight loss.
This is achieved by incorporating ingredients that activate your pet’s metabolism to regulate appetite and burn fat instead of storing it.
For each pet they thoroughly assess their body condition, and start a weight loss program designed for their breed, size and body fat percentage.
Each pet starting the program gets a consultation at no charge, a comprehensive diet plan, before and after photos, and a chart plotting how much weight the pet should lose and the time required to lose the weight safely.
Weight loss is never easy so they reward all successful participants with a complementary pamper day at the clinic when they reach their weight loss goal to celebrate.
If you feel your pet is overweight or if they could drop a few pounds, call Baw Baw Paws today on 5623 4849 to book in for a no obligation weight loss consult.
