A proper diet is an important part of your pet’s health. However, should your pet need a new diet due to health concerns or you are just looking for a healthy alternative to your current brand, we offer individual consultations and nutritional plans to help keep your pet healthy. In addition, our team of veterinarians advocates that every pet receives a nutritional assessment at every visit, including monitoring and tracking your pet’s weight and body condition score. Good nutrition strengthens your pet’s quality of life and enhances their longevity.
Overweight pets are among the most common nutritional confusions we see today at Rainbow City Pet Clinic. The latest studies show up to 59% of dogs and cats are overweight. The ideal body condition score for dogs ranges from 4-5; for cats, the ideal body condition is a 4. Unfortunately, most pet parents think their pets are too thin just because we are too used to seeing animals overweight and calling that normal.
