Cuando el tutor no puede solo… el ATV lidera: claves para el éxito en el programa de adelgazamiento

EVENT DETAILS Why does obesity management often fail in the clinic? Obesity is not just a cosmetic problem; it is a chronic inflammatory condition that predisposes our patients to endocrine, orthopedic, and cardiovascular diseases. However, the biggest obstacle is not the lack of diets, but the lack of adherence. In their daily practice, veterinarians often lack the time necessary to perform the thorough follow-up that these cases require. In this VetileaTalks webinar, we will analyze how to transform therapeutic failure into clinical success through a multimodal approach. We will discover why the veterinary technician is the key figure in leading weight management programs, acting as the indispensable link between the medical prescription and the owner's implementation at home. We will learn how to standardize monitoring protocols and use effective communication to overcome the owner's emotional barriers, ensuring that every gram lost translates into years of life and well-being for the patient. WHY ATTEND THIS WEBINAR? You will learn to perform an accurate clinical diagnosis of body condition and establish realistic, evidence-based weight loss goals. You will learn persuasive communication tools to help the caregiver understand the severity of the condition and commit to the plan. You will explore veterinary technician-led follow-up protocols that optimize clinic time and improve therapeutic outcomes. You will implement individualized management plans, adjusting nutrition and environmental enrichment according to the species (dog vs. cat).
