Nutrition and Diet Services

Nutrition Counseling

With so many brands of pet food and treats on the market, it can be difficult to know if the product you have been feeding your pet is really providing them with the nutrition they need to stay healthy and strong. What you feed your dog or cat is essential to their overall health and well-being. As pets grow older, their nutritional needs may change. Each life stage requires a particular balance of vitamins, minerals, protein, fats, and carbohydrates.

At your pet’s next wellness exam, speak with one of our veterinarians about the type of food that will best suit your dog or cat. We are happy to help you choose a food based on your pet’s breed, health, age, and health condition.
