The Barretts consulted Lori Tewhey, who counsels Boston Veterinary Care’s clients on nutrition and pet weight loss, who recommended a Purina One reduced-calorie diet plan to help 15-pound Clovis shed some extra pounds.

Xena's Story: How She Met Her Weight Loss Goal. Xena is a healthy, 9-year-old Boxer who faced a common problem many of us (both human and canine) face with age: an increasing waistline. Her owner, Jarrett Baker, expressed his concern about Xena’s weight (which was then 78 pounds) to BVC Veterinarian Dr. Rachel Shophet-Ratner, who was happy to introduce him to BVC Veterinary Technician and Nutrition Counselor Lori Tewhey. Lori worked with Jarrett to devise a simple, gradual weight loss program for Xena using reduced-calorie food to keep Xena on track. Click here for Xena's story.
