APRIL/MAY
"Get Fit and Healthy with your pet "
Did you know that up to 40% of Australian pets and 60% of Australians are considered overweight! Astonishing considering we are supposed to be the 'healthy' country! Obesity in pets, just like in people, can cause arthritis, joint problems, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, breathing problems and ruptured ligaments.
Not only do these conditions pose a serious health risk but they are also incur very expensive medical bills. Most people don't realise that feeding your dog a slice of buttered toast is the equivalent of us eating a Big Mac and giving your cat a piece of cheese is like us eating four chocolate bars!
A lot of weight problems that we see are unfortunately due to owners indulging their pets and essentially killing them with kindness. Helping your pet lose weight can be an extremely fun & rewarding experience for both you and your pet as well as helping you form a stronger bond through increased exercise. It will help you shave a few kilos as well!
At Vetcall through the months of April and May, we are providing free weight loss consults with a trained 'weight loss coach' nurse in association with Hills Science Diet. Your 'coach' will put together a tailored programme that suits you and your pets lifestyle. A personal feeding plan is set to help your pet achieve its ideal weight and you will be rewarded with a $10 voucher to get you started with the first bag of food from the Hills weight loss range. Your coach will get you back for regular weigh ins as you and your pet progress towards your goal.
Hills has added an extra incentive of a National Slimmers Competition, where you compete to win a prize of $1000 worth of travel vouchers as well as state prizes of a years worth of Hills food of your choice.
Contact your nearest Vetcall and get started today for the health & well being of all of the family. |
