Over 50% of our dogs and cats are overweight or obese.  This can lead to early aging and many associated chronic conditions you can read about on the obesity page.  Nestle Purina has come up with a brilliant program to help your pets lose weight and give you access to resources that will help you achieve your goals.  If you think your pet is overweight, schedule an appointment today and we can get you started on your way!  Here's a brief summary of the challenge and what rewards you can get!

1. Determine if your pet is overweight - all that is needed is an exam and a weight check!
2. Start the Purina Project Pet Slim Down.  On your first visit you will receive a free 6 pound bag of a prescription diet that has been proven to help your pet lose weight! 
   
3. At home, go to the Purina website (link below) and download a coupon good for an additional $20 off your next bag purchase.  Just bring the coupon in when you need your next bag of food.  On each bag of food you purchase there will be a weight circle cutout - hold on to this cutout to save even more!
   
4. When you have purchased 3 bags of the same size of prescription food, simply attach your 3 weight circles from each bag to your rebate form and send it in to Purina.  They will send your free bag of food directly to our clinic!  

With regular weigh-ins and tips on increasing exercise and avoiding treats, we can help your dog or cat lose weight easily and keep it off!  This will help give your pet a longer and healthier life!
