New Years Resolutions
 
Its that time of year when we all decide to make wee changes in our life, usually to improve our health. This may be to stop smoking, to exercise more or to lose weight. But what about our pets?
 
Walking your dog for an extra 10 minutes a day will benefit both you and your pet significantly! Feeding your cat or dog a little less at each meal will help them lose weight gradually and without too much effort on your part.
Eat less and move more is the message for overweight pets but doesnt need to seem like torture. Come into the surgery for some advice on helping your pet to slim down this year!

A chocolate digestive biscuit to a Jack Russell is a portion of chips to a person.
 
Half a tin of salmon fed to a cat is the same as 2 doughnuts for you.
 
Just one sardine eaten by a cat is one whole chocolate bar for a human.
