Nutritional Counselling
Meeting Your Cat or Dog's Nutritional Needs
The nutritional needs of pets can differ significantly based on age, breed, health status and more. To help make this complicated topic a little easier for pet owners, our veterinary team offers nutrition counselling.
Healthy foods for your pet are enriched with proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, fat and minerals, but not all pet food is made the same. Knowing what's right for your dog or cat can be tricky so our veterinary team wants to help you take the guess work out of your pet's dinner.
We look forward to working with you and your pet to provide a medically supervised, veterinarian-approved nutrition plan that will help them stay happy and healthy for many years to come!
The Nutritional Counselling Process
We’ll begin by performing a complete physical exam and a health analysis to determine your pet’s nutritional needs. We'll then use that information to develop a custom food plan to meet those needs.
We may recommend using prescription diet food products if we feel they will have added benefits for your pet that regular products do not.
As pets age, their nutritional needs often change, so we must reassess the situation periodically. We will revisit our plan from time to time to make sure it is still effective.
