Talking about weight with clients can be a difficult conversation, especially since current methods of diagnosing weight problems are subjective and often dismissed by clients as opinion. However, the problem of pet obesity cannot be left unaddressed. A more accurate way to determine a pet's ideal weight is needed, and that's why we're proud to introduce the new Hill's Healthy Weight Protocol app a breakthrough approach to diagnosing and managing weight problems developed from a multi-year study with a leading university of veterinary medicine. Determining an accurate ideal weight is as easy as entering the patient s age, current weight, and a few simple body frame measurements into the app. The app will then calculate patient s ideal weight, BFI (body fat percentage), kCals for weight loss or maintenance, and create a feeding plan for weight loss success. Key Features: More accurately assess an overweight patient's ideal weight Engage pet owners with objective numbers they can understand Create a customized feeding plan based on the patient's ideal weight that can be e-mailed to clients Feeding plans can include any combination of dry food, canned food and treats. Modify energy requirements or kCals to tailor the recommendation to your patient s needs Create feeding plans for weight loss or ongoing weight maintenance Includes all Hill s Science Diet(c), Prescription Diet(c) and Ideal Balance(c) products. When it is not possible to capture body frame measurements, you can manually assess your patient's body fat percentage using the Hill s BFI Risk Chart.
