Happy in the Country, Part Two

In Part One of this article, we looked at three AAHA-accredited practices, one each in the southern US, the midwestern US, and in rural Ontario. This time we’ll revisit practices in the southern and midwestern US, and add in a new rural locale, New England. These practitioners have different backgrounds and different reasons for being where they are, but they all share one thing in common: a love for the countryside and a love for their chosen profession.

Pet obesity—like human obesity—has become more prevalent with each passing decade and the lockdown under COVID-19 only exacerbated the problem. Unfortunately, obesity is associated with many health problems. So why isn’t this known problem under control? It turns out that the problem of obesity is multi-factored and complex with research uncovering many differing variables that affect it. But it’s vital that veterinary teams work with clients to address the situation, especially with pandemic pounds added. One approach is to focus not on what you tell your clients but how you communicate with them about the perils of overweight pets.
