Kitty “feline” good thanks to 608 weight clinics

Eight-and-a-half-year-old Kitty has lost more than 1kg in weight in just a few months since first attending a weight clinic here at 608 Vets. Kitty was prescribed an improved diet to help her become more mobile and energetic. 

Our lead nurse Alison Pett, said: “I have seen Kitty at the weight clinic every couple of months. 

“We started her on a trial using different diets and special diet food which has worked well. We also reduced the number of treats that Kitty had per day. She is much more active at home already and the weight loss has helped with her underlying asthma.  

“It’s a great result all round and I’m incredibly proud of Kitty, her owner and our team of dedicated veterinary nurses who have made this possible and built a really close bond with Kitty.” 

The weight clinics see the animals being weighed, with nurses then advising diets, treats, and best ways to increase the animal’s exercise in a safe manner. 

Future appointments are then arranged to reweigh the animal and talk about how they have got on since the previous appointment. 

Weight clinics are available at our Acocks Green site every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. To find out more or to book an appointment for your pet, give us a call on 0121 706 1870.
