| SEPTEMBER is National Cholesteral Education Month This is a good time to discuss your pet's possible cholesterol problems and to get your pet's blood cholesterol checked. It is also a good time to learn what steps you can take to help lower your pet's cholesterol if it is high. National Cholesterol Education Month is also a good time to learn about lipid profiles and about food and lifestyle choices that can help you reach cholesterol goals. High blood cholesterol affects over 65 million Americans. It is a serious condition that increases the risk for heart disease. The higher your cholesterol level, the greater the risk. You can have high cholesterol and not know it. Lowering cholesterol levels that are too high lessens the risk for developing heart disease and reduces the chance of having a heart attack or dying of heart disease. These facts are about humans, but also apply to animals. Dogs, in particularly, are susceptible to high cholesterol and all the unwanted secondary side-effects, like clogged arteries, heart disease, heart failure, etc. Fortunately for us, keeping our pets healthy is frequently easier than keeping ourselves healthy. Purina has performed many studies and have many different diets to help us keep our pets from developing hypercholesterolenemia. There is a special weight loss diet that also helps to reduce cholesterol in overweight patients called OM. You can follow the link below to see what Purina can offer you and your pet. If you are concerned about your pets health, then please give us a call to schedule an appointment today at 972-722-0066. |
