Our new Fitness Club is designed to help your pet lose weight and to live longer. Our team will coach you on feeding strategies and exercise programs. To become a member, make an appointment with our veterinarian for a thorough examination including blood work. From there we will do monthly weigh-ins and consultations on feeding and exercise.
Sign up today to participate in socials, exercise classes, and other fitness events! If you have any questions feel free to contact Kelly by calling us at (228)392-0327 or e-mail at petclinic@cableone.net.
