Through our weight management program we hope to eliminate some of the health conditions that follow obesity and excess weight. It is very important that we help our pets maintain a healthy weight in order to allow them to live up to two years longer. If you think your pet may be a candidate for this program please contact one of our technicians. She will evaluate each case individually and decide the best approach for your pet. There will be a step by step easy to follow program specially designed for you and your furry friend-all of this is completely free. The diets we will be using are iVet and Science Diet.

  iVet

• iVet Healthy Gourmet Canine Formulas contain only Whole Chicken Meat with no chicken or poultry by-products. Many national brands contain chicken or poultry by-product meal consisting of the heads, feet, and viscera of poultry. These are less digestible sources of protein. Because we use no by-products, iVet Healthy Gourmet Formulas offer excellent digestibility and less clean up after your pet.
  
  There's no wheat in our formulas because wheat is one of the top three ingredients in pet foods causing food allergies. Our diets contain whole grains like Rice, Oatmeal, and Barley, which are better carbohydrate choices to eliminate possible allergic reactions. Oatmeal is an excellent carbohydrate, fiber, thiamine, and vitamin E source but is not widely used in pet food due to its cost.
  
  Our formulas do not contain Soybean Meal. Soybean meal provides a less expensive plant source of protein. Whole meat is the best source of protein and creates proper amino acid profiles for canine nutrition. Soy ingredients also have a reputation as an allergen.
  
  IVet Healthy Gourmet Formulas utilize Chicken Fat which is the same quality grade used in human foods. This helps give the food the great taste dogs love. It also provides the essential fatty acids that are a necessary component of canine nutrition. We have guaranteed high levels of Omega-6 and Omega-3 Fatty Acids for excellent skin and hair coat conditions. Our sources for our Omega-3 Fatty Acids used in iVet foods include Fish Meal and Flaxseed (http://www.ivetfoods.com/dogfoods_vet.html.)

• iVet® Healthy Gourmet™ Canine Adult Reduced Fat
  As with people, excessive weight in dogs can contribute to various health issues. Maintaining a lean body structure can be especially challenging for dogs that are less active as fewer calories are burned each day. With this in mind, iVet's Healthy Gourmet Canine Reduced Fat Formula has been formulated to contain 27% less fat than iVet's Canine Adult Formula. While the fat has been reduced, this diet still contains the required nutrients and vitamins your dog needs along with great taste.
