This plan was designed with a clear goal -- a better quality of life for Zeb. As part of the Hill's(R) pet food recommendation, Dr. Marrinson made sure to provide Diane with the proper feeding amounts and product information to ensure Diane would understand exactly how to carry out the plan for success.
"I'll be honest, at first it was hard to deny Zeb the lifestyle routine he had previously enjoyed," said Bonheim. "I realized that by following Dr. Marrinson's recommendation, Zeb would not only look better, he would feel better too, and the changes have been incredible."
