Holistic Vets: Dr. Mahaney Covers Chronic Ear Problems
Is your pet overweight or obese? Do you know how to tell if such is the case? You should, as permitting your pet to tip the scales into the obese range is just one form of neglect animals face that can have potential irreversible health problems.
In this episode of Holistic Vets, Tracie Hotchner and I cover the merits of the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, an organization calling attention to this health epidemic facing dogs and cats. Additionally, we discuss how the clinical nutrition department at many veterinary colleges can work with pet owners and vets to develop a personalized, home-made diet (having human grade ingredients instead of sub-par feed-grade ingredients) for your dog or cat.
