If you need advice regarding which diet is suitable for your pet then call the practice to speak to a nurse or arrange a nurse consult to weigh your pet and discuss it's diet.

Remember that both a cat's and a dog's metabolism changes and slows down after neutering; this can make them prone to putting on weight. To discuss how to prevent this ask to speak to a nurse or vet.
