The Canine Sports Medicine Center also offers exercise and weight loss programs. Our staff will develop a customized exercise schedule and nutrition plan for your pet to help them achieve their optimum body weight and condition.

Weight control is essential to maximizing your pet’s life span and also preventing and managing degenerative and debilitating orthopedic/ neurologic conditions.

Approximately 25% of pets are overweight to grossly obese. Typically due to excess body fat.

• 1-9% above optimal weight
• 10-19% above optimal- overweight
• 20% or greater above optimal- obese

Simply feeding less of a food that is not calorie restricted is unlikely to produce weight loss. Exercise is an essential component of the weight loss plan.

• Feeding plan
• Exercise plan
• Re-check plan

We can help your pet achieve its ideal body condition and improve their quality of life.
