Packages
Weight Loss Package (4 months/16 weeks)
The Weight Loss Package is for pets who suffer from obesity. This package establishes an intense, comprehensive weight loss program tailored to the individual needs of the pet and the household. The Weight Loss Package involves a Comprehensive Consultation and prescription of a customized weight loss program, followed by a series of Recheck Calls and Recheck Consultations and unlimited access to our Coaching & Support service to ensure safe and effective weight loss. Depending on the severity of obesity and the complexity of the case, at the completion of the Weight Loss Package, options include continuation of the weight loss program through the Progress Package or, for pets that have achieved their weight loss goals, transitioning to the Maintenance Package, or transfer of care back the regular veterinary practice.
Progress Package (2 months/8 weeks)
ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER COMPLETION OF A WEIGHT LOSS PACKAGE
The Progress Package is for pets who require further weight loss beyond what can be accomplished in the timeline of the Weight Loss Package. This package is a continuation of the previously established weight loss program. The Progress Package involves extension of the series of Recheck Calls and Recheck Consultations and continued unlimited access to our Coaching & Support service to ensure ongoing safe and effective weight loss. At the completion of the Progress Package, options include continuation of the weight loss program through additional Progress Packages or, for pets that have achieved their weight loss goals, transitioning to the Maintenance Package, or transfer of care back the regular veterinary practice.

Multi-pet Package Discount
In situations where more than one pet in the household requires weight management, package(s) for additional pet(s) in the same household can be purchased with an additional incremental 10% discount per pet applied to each subsequent package, to a maximum of 50%.
Individual Services
Introductory Session (phone, 15 minutes)
A complimentary Introductory Session is done by phone with the client or the regular veterinary practice so we can learn more about the pet and household circumstances. In this conversation we will be able to determine if the services we offer are suitable for the case, recommend the most appropriate package for the situation, provide an estimate, and plan for the next steps towards a healthier pet.
Information Gathering & Review (requires ~1 week to complete)
During this time, we will gather and review all the information needed – medical records, a nutritional history, baseline general health test results – to begin formulating a safe and effective weight management program tailored to the individual needs of the pet and the household.
Comprehensive Consultation (in-person/telemedicine, 60-90 minutes)
All new patients must have a Comprehensive Consultation to fully evaluate the pet and the household situation and to establish a Veterinary-Client-Patient Relationship (VCPR), maximizing the likelihood of weight management success. The Comprehensive Consultation involves a physical examination including weight and body condition score assessment, review of the pet and household circumstances, addressing anticipated challenges, sharing tips and tricks for successful weight management, and finalization of the weight management program
Recheck Calls (phone, 15-30 minutes) & Recheck Consultations (in-person/telemedicine, 30-45 minutes)
During weight management programs Recheck Calls, by phone, and Recheck Consultations, in-person or by telemedicine, are done in an alternating pattern at a frequency appropriate for the intensity of the program to ensure safe and effective weight management. These calls and consultations involve assessment of the pet’s progress, addressing any concerns and adjusting the weight management program as needed – not to mention celebrating successes!
Written Reports
These are provided to the client and the regular veterinary practice by email following the Comprehensive and Recheck Consultations – as well as any time significant changes are made to the program – to maintain open and clear communication and ensure optimal continuity of care for the pet.
Coaching & Support
Throughout any package timeline, clients have unlimited access to our team by text, email, or phone for coaching, support, questions, or concerns. For clients purchasing services individually, Coaching & Support is available for a limited time following an appointment. Please expect up to a 48-business hour response time.
