Yes we have a separate post neutering advice sheet which we attach to our standard post op sheet for all castrates and spays (for cats/dogs/rabbits). In it we advise to reduce diet by 25% (or change to 50% if already overweight!) and advise weight checks every couple of months post neuter.

Yeh when I worked in general practice it was written on their sheets and we gave out free samples of royal canin neutered food. With regards to dental care, the nurses had a double appt with the clients at first vacc to discuss everything regarding, flea, worming, dental care, weight, neutering, microchip ping, insurance etc etc. 20 mins with nurse and then single appt with vet for check and vaccine, worked very well!! Nurses also ran weight clinics and 6 month checks to pick up any weight issues, vets would refer them from annual booster appts! :)

We dont have it on our discharge sheets but i always discuss it with owners at discharge appointments after neutering.

hello never seen a post op care sheet with it written on - would be good to put it in you are right! however I do always advise owners to put their animal onto a neut cat diet, dogs I usually say breed/size specific or neut size appropriate at dc and tell all of them to measure out food. if they don't want to change diets I recommend they reduce by approx 1/3 (depending on the brand). vets talk about everything (inc teeth/brushing) at 1st vacc (and bstrs) and nurses re-iterate at 2nd.
