Holiday Weight Gain in Pets: Veterinary Strategies with Dr. Martha Cline
Update: 2025-12-03
Description
The holiday season brings joy, family, and—unfortunately—extra calories for many of our patients. This week on The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor sit down with board-certified veterinary nutritionist Dr. Martha Cline to unpack why holiday weight gain happens and how veterinary teams can help pet owners set healthier habits for the year ahead. From multi-pet household challenges to emotional feeding and environmental barriers, Dr. Cline shares practical, real-world insights that resonate with both clinicians and technicians.
