When Gunner came in to see us at Hilton Vet Hospital, he weighed 61.1kg. Our vets had a gentle but important conversation with his owner: for Gunner’s long-term health — especially his joints, mobility, and quality of life — he needed to lose weight. Gunner is now a much healthier 49.6kg — that's an incredible 11kg weight loss!
🔎 Why is this so important for large breed dogs like Gunner?
Extra weight puts significant stress on their hips, knees, and spine, increasing the risk of arthritis, joint injuries, and other health issues. Keeping them slim helps:
✔️ Protect their joints
✔️ Improve mobility
✔️ Reduce pain
✔️ Extend their life expectancy
✔️ Boost overall quality of life
