Ideal Weight
There is no area of nutrition that deserves more of our attention than ideal weight. A landmark study in 2002 proved that ideal weight dogs live an AVERAGE of 15% longer, feel better and have fewer health problems.
4 Paws Swim & Fitness is dedicated to helping pets reach and maintain their ideal weight in an effective, fun way. Since opening our state of the art facility in 2006 we have done weight assessments on hundreds of pets and helped many pets achieve their ideal weight.
We are glad to provide nutritional assessments that include determination of ideal weight, caloric needs and exercise as well as opening the dialogue to your pets best nutrition including evidence based supplements (to be continued & finalized with your veterinarian) to help your pet acheive ideal weight.
