The skinny on weight management

 Did you know that dogs and cats who become overweight are predisposed to diseases and health issues just like humans??  It is true.  Dogs and cats that carry a few or a lot more pounds than they should have organs that work harder.  Heart disease, diabetes and back or joint issues are just a few of the health concerns that arise from being overweight or obese.

It is important that you give your pet the chance to be healthy his whole life through.  Many of our pets are overweight without their owners even realizing it.  Dr. Miles and Dr. Agahi can examine your pet to determine his healthiest weight for a healthy lifestyle.  If your pet does need to lose, both our doctors take pride in providing an effective weight management program. 

As humans we feel our best when we are active and eat healthy foods.  The same goes for our cats and dogs.  Allow us to help you help them and if you have ideas on healthy, active lifestyles.  Share them with us.  We are a team after all!!

Hormones play a key role in weight management. Not only do they stimulate metabolism but they also affect fat storage. Insulin, estrogen, cortisol, leptin, DHEA, testosterone, and thyroid-related hormones are the main hormones responsible for weight gain.
