Nutrition & Weight Management

Maintaining a healthy weight and balanced diet is essential to your pet’s overall wellbeing. At Prebbleton Veterinary Hospital, we provide tailored nutrition and weight management programmes— helping them stay active, comfortable, and healthy at every stage of life.

Whether your pet needs to lose a few kilos, gain condition, or simply maintain their current weight, we’re here to create a realistic, sustainable plan that promotes long-term health.

Personalised Nutrition Plans

Every pet has different nutritional requirements. Our team develops customised feeding plans that provide the right balance of nutrients, vitamins, and energy for optimal health — whether your pet is young, senior, or managing a medical condition.

Weight Management Programmes

Obesity is a common issue that can lead to serious health problems such as arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease. We offer structured weight management programmes that include regular weigh-ins, diet adjustments, and ongoing support to help your pet reach and maintain a healthy weight safely.
