So, how do you keep track of your pet’s weight?

✅ Visit your vet for tailored weight checks and advice

✅ Control portions and choose healthy meals

✅ Add more movement with daily walks and play

✅ Track progress with feeding logs or activity charts

✅ Book a six-month healthy pet check to stay on top of your pet’s weight and overall wellbeing, and with Pet Health Club this is included in your plan
