We even carry a special line of incredibly low calorie treats, ideal for chubby pets...or for pets who just like a lot of treats!  And what we don't have, we can order - so come on in, say hello, and check out our healthy foods, treats, snacks, and nutritional supplements.

Nutritional Counseling

Fat pets aren't cute or funny. They're walking time bombs.

Obesity is epidemic among our pets, and it carries serious medical consequences.  The risk of developing crippling arthritis, heart disease (especially in cats), and cancer are all much higher in obese pets.

Weight gain sneaks up on some pets, and it's sometimes hard to know what to do about it.  If you've tried weight loss diets or simply feeding less and you still have a chubby pet, what's next?  Trying to make an obese pet with painful joints and high blood pressure exercise more is neither safe nor smart.

But you CAN call us, to make an appointment with one of our Nutritional Counselors.  They'll work with you to develop a personalized weight loss plan for your pet that is safe and effective.  From working with the current diet and calculating more effective calorie use, to discussing specific prescription weight loss diets....from discussing appropriate weight management medication, to developing a gradual-onset exercise program for your pet....from recommending safe herbal remedies that ease hunger pangs, to planning a regular weight-in and coaching schedule - we WILL work with you to get your pet back to a safe and healthy weight.

And it WILL work, too.  While weight loss isn't easy for anyone, our patients have successfully lost up to one-third of their body weight.  It won't happen overnight, but most pets can lose their excess weight in under six months.  You CAN have a healthier and happier pet.

Feel better now?  Your pet will, too.  Call us to schedule your appointment.


Prescription Medication Compounding

It's no secret that many pets fail to see the humor in having medication administered on a regular basis - or even occasionally.  If more of your pet's medication ends up outside your pet instead of inside, where it needs to be, please call us! We work with several compunding pharmacies that can ship medication right to your door, quickly and conveniently. Or, you can pick it up at the hospital - let us know what is easier for you. Many common medications can be compounded into a tasty liquid.  Flavored pills are another option.  Some medications can even be made into a cream that you can just rub into your pet's ear - this is a great option for cats!

We also offer "Tiny Tabs" - a complete dose of many common medications in a size appropriate for pets under 15 pounds.  No more splitting pills into eensy-beensy shards and guessing whether you are getting the correct dose into your tiny darling!  We'll dispense exactly the right size medication so that your pet can get better, faster.

Pill Pockets are another great option for making it a little easier to give medication.  They turn your pet's pills into a yummy snack!  We carry an assortment of various sizes of these handy little pockets, which can be easily molded around any size pill - and our flavor varieties will please your pet! 

Call the hospital and ask to speak to one of our Nurses, to discuss which option is right for your pet.


Knollwood's mailing service brings medication to your door!

You're running out of your pet's medication in a few more days, and you don't want to have to drive to the hospital to pick it up.  Or you simply don't have time to fight traffic. 

And now you don't have to.

Call us.  We can ship any needed medication or necessary medical supply right to your home or office.  It's fast, safe, and inexpensive.  In fact, it might cost you less than the gallons of gas it takes to drive to us!
