Dietary Counseling and Weight Management

Maintaining your pet at a healthy weight helps prevent or minimize a variety of health risks including:  arthritis, joint problems, diabetes, heart disease and breathing problems. A healthy weight not only decreases disease and discomfort, but studies show it can increase longevity for our pets. The Veterinary and Rehabilitation Center of Cape Elizabeth can help your pet with dietary counseling and weight management options.

Healthy weight is achieved and maintained through a balanced diet and exercise.  If your pet is overweight, our staff can create a weight-loss plan specific to your pet's individual needs.  In addition to reducing food and increasing exercise, we have other options such as prescription diet foods and weight-loss medication.
