Obesity and Nutrition Counseling
Diagnosing & Treating Cat & Dog Obesity in Ponte Vedra Beach
Many pet owners do not expect a general pet exam to reveal that their cat or dog is struggling with obesity. Pet nutritional counseling is a common necessity for improving the diet and health of animals. How can you tell if your pet is overweight? There are several symptoms you may notice, the most obvious being physical appearance, but a veterinary professional can determine the wellness of your pet as well as any interventions that may be necessary.
