The Mysterious Case of the Shrinking Patients

 

Many of you may not have noticed but some of our GVH patients have been shrinking! The shrinking patient syndrome has been caused by a group of dedicated owners who have made the commitment to enable their pets to lose weight and ultimately live a healthier life.  The Fit Pet program has been running now at GVH since September 2009.

Fit Pet participants are given comprehensive feeding guidelines, along with a weight loss guide and are regularly weighed and measured to ensure the highest chance of success.You and your pet will be supported by the team at GVH for the entirety of the program. 

 

Congratulations to our lastest successful Fit Pet participants: 

Mr T - 2yo Male Border Collie was 40.4kg and 34.7% overweight now 33.8kg

Roxy - 4yo Female Bichon Frise was 8.8kg and 10% overweight now 8.3kg

Jack - 3.5yo Male Puggle was 8.9kg and 14.1% overweight now 7.9kg

Toby - 2yo Male Labrador Retriever was 44.6kg and 11.5% overweight now 40.5kg

Not only have these pets lost an enormous amount of weight but the centimetre loss is incredible, for example Mr T has lost 17cms from around his neck, 12cms off his chest and 17cms of his rump!

Jack has been our “poster child” for the program and you may have seen him on our display board in the waiting room, he has lost 5cms off his neck, 7cms from his chest and a huge 10cms off his rump and Fritzi has lost 12cms off his neck, 9cms off his chest and a whopping 15cms from his rump...!!!
