This winter we're helping Pets get Healthy through weight loss and exercise!
Responsible pet owners take preventative measures to ensure their fur babies stay healthy and happy. Cascade Veterinary Clinic is running a weight loss competition from January 15 to February 28, 2020. Do you know for certain that your pet is a healthy weight? Stop by for a free body condition evaluation for your pet to see if he/she qualifies to join the Princeton Pets 2020 Slim Down. And because research shows that pet owners also get fitter when they exercise their pets, we’re giving away a Fitbit to the winner of the competition!
How to enter:
- Stop in for a free weight consult for your pet
- Start them on our prescription Satiety Support diet, or other diet as recommended by one of our veterinarians if your pet has special medical conditions
- Implement an exercise regime – yes, you can get your cat to exercise too, we’ll tell you how!
- Come back for weekly weigh-ins
- Winner based on percentage of overall weight lost, not total weight (Curvy Chihuahuas have to stand a chance against Rotund Rottweilers!)
