Helping Dogs & Cats Reach a Healthy, Happy Weight

Helping Dogs & Cats Reach a Healthy, Happy Weight

More than half of pets in the U.S. are overweight or obese—an issue that can significantly impact their health, mobility, and overall quality of life. Even a few extra pounds can place added stress on your pet’s joints, heart, and internal organs. At White Haven Veterinary Hospital, we provide personalized weight management plans to help dogs and cats safely reach and maintain a healthy weight.
Supporting your pet’s weight isn’t just about appearance—it’s a key part of protecting their long-term health.

Is My Pet Overweight?

Because ideal body condition varies by breed, age, and size, the number on the scale doesn’t tell the whole story. Physical appearance and body composition offer a much more accurate assessment.

Your pet may be overweight if:

Our team can determine your pet’s Body Condition Score (BCS) during an exam and help you understand what a healthy target weight looks like.

Personalized Health Plans for Every Pet

Personalized Health Plans for Every Pet

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to weight management. A plan that works for a senior dog with arthritis may not be appropriate for an active young cat—or for a pet with chronic conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disease, or heart issues

We design every weight management plan around your pet’s:

The result is a realistic, effective plan created specifically for your pet.

Healthy Weight= Healthy Life

Managing your pet’s weight plays a major role in preventing disease, supporting joint health, and maintaining a strong immune system. A healthy body condition also reduces strain on the joints—especially important for pets who are aging, arthritic, or beginning to show signs of mobility issues.

For pets who need extra support beyond weight management and exercise, we also offer PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma). These regenerative joint injections can help reduce inflammation, improve comfort, and support long-term mobility.
