Although animals (humans alike) are all individuals the requirements for a good wellness program are all similar in that we all require good nutrition, exercise and affection. Some breeds have a different tolerance level in all aspects which is why it is important to have a balance to the routine.
When does muscle mass/fat stores balance? and How does this effect my animal’s performance? Does body weight proportion evenly, Muscle mass vs Fat stores? Is his/her biomechanics correct? and has he/she reached their optimal potential? Assessments with Change your Range will give you answers to these questions and more!
