The good news: small daily habits, like brushing or offering VOHC-approved chews, make a big difference.

October is Pet Obesity Awareness Month! That adorable round belly might be cuter than it is healthy, and over 50% of pets are carrying extra weight without their owners even knowing it.

Extra pounds can lead to diabetes, joint pain, and a shorter life. But small changes make a BIG difference! 💙

Quick check:

Can you feel their ribs without pressing hard? ✅
Does your pet have a visible waist from above? ✅
Are they slowing down on walks or play? 🚨

Noticing any of these signs? Here at Hixson Pet Wellness Center, we're ready to help! Schedule a wellness visit with our team today!
