Pet Nutritional Counseling
Food truly can be medicine, but only when it includes a species-appropriate balance of ingredients and is consumed in moderation. Trust in our individualized pet nutritional counseling to find the right diet to support your companion.
Pet Nutritional Counseling
Pet obesity is an epidemic affecting over half the dogs and cats in the United States. And this extra weight is more than an aesthetic concern. Overweight and obese pets are at an increased risk for life-altering conditions, including arthritis, cancer, orthopedic disease, kidney disease, respiratory problems, and more.
If your pet is overweight, our nutritional counseling can help. After ruling out a medical cause, we’ll closely review your pet’s eating habits, feeding schedule, and lifestyle. We’ll record your pet’s body weight and assess their body condition score (BCS) to determine their ideal weight. Then, your pet’s veterinarian will design a safe weight loss plan to restore your pet’s health and vitality and we’ll support you along the way with regular check-ins to ensure success.
Pet Diet Recommendations
Pet nutrition has evolved into a complex and often overwhelming arena of options for pet owners. While scientific advancements have elevated some nutrition brands, human trends and fads have compromised others and even led to pet illness.
Whether you have a growing puppy, a high-performance athlete, or a gray-faced senior, our veterinary team can provide customized feeding recommendations, including what and how much to feed so you can feel confident about feeding your pet. Our trusted foods are backed by years of scientific research and formal feeding trials. They are proven to meet rigorous AAFCO feeding standards to ensure the correct balance of essential ingredients.
