Meet Smokey, he's one of our beautiful British short hairs at Clifton VetsForPets🐈⬛
Smokey comes to the clinic every couple of weeks to see nurse Kara for weight consultations. From a young age Smokey has always loved his food but this meant there was a big increase of 1.3kg in just 10 months, this may not seem like a lot, but this is 22% of Smokey's bodyweight that he had gained.
He has recently started his weight loss journey, where we will document his progress and make alterations where necessary. Spoiler: He's already doing really well!👏🏼
Let's see how Smokey's progress goes and check back in in a few months 🐈⬛
50% of dogs and 43% of cats in the UK are classified as overweight and at Clifton VetForPets we want to try and help reduce this as much as possible.
Obesity can cause many other diseases and conditions to occur or progress quicker, secondary effects of obesity include trouble grooming and bad hygiene, breathing concerns, osteoarthritis, liver disease, diabetes, pancreatitis and many more.
