https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/31693/newbie-to-weight-clinics Hello :) I&#39;m just started doing weight management clinics, its something I&#39;ve dreaded because I really don&#39;t feel confident in doing them. Does anyone have any tips/tricks for weight clinics? en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174862?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 03 Jul 2019 13:46:45 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:c3640fb3-39c3-42c1-b1ed-0935c35bc0cfLaura <p>Get in touch with your reps for materials e.g. booklets to track weight, posters, BCS charts, food diaries&nbsp;etc.</p> <p>Give yourself plenty of time, I usually allocate at least half an hour for the first appointment.</p> <p>Take before photos!</p> <p>Advise the owner to use scales for the food but then get them to bring the scales to their appointment to calibrate, had a weight clinic recently who had been trying for AGES to get the cat to lose weight, checked her scales and she&#39;s been overfeeding accidently that whole time.</p> <p>Continuity of care is important, try and keep weight clinics with the same nurse each time if possible.</p> <p>Enjoy!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174856?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 03 Jul 2019 12:17:17 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:d78fa4cf-1ded-47ca-8279-43aac5af574dRobyn <p>DEFINITELY get in touch with your food rep, they&#39;ll get you sorted with plenty of bits and pieces to help. I seem to do nothing BUT weight clinics, I&#39;ll send you a PM with all my protocols, hopefully they&#39;ll help you out!&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174843?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 02 Jul 2019 02:18:30 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:7aa60525-e378-4ac5-8a87-727f1f8321c9VetNurse Anon a/c<p>Hi</p> <p>Have you contacted hills or royal canin as they have tonnes of info they can send you?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
