Nutrition
As humans, we understand that the foods we eat have a significant impact on our health, energy levels, weight, and even our lifespans. Sometimes it's easy to forget that the same is true for our pets. Not all pet food is created equal! It varies greatly in quality as well as in nutritional value. Additionally, certain animals have needs that are best met by specialized foods.
Understanding my pet's nutritional needs
Your pet's nutritional needs will change throughout their life. Certain diets lend focused support to puppies and kittens, seniors, and animals with specific health concerns. People often underestimate the difference that a diet change can make for their pet. Paying proper attention to nutrition can greatly improve your pet's quality of life and even extend their life expectancy. Our veterinarians can help you to identify nutritional gaps and will make suggestions to ensure that your pet is as happy and healthy as possible!
What kinds of things can a proper diet help with?
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Reducing symptoms of allergies (itching, scratching)
- Supporting your pet through the aging process
- Improving organ function
If you think your pet could benefit from anything listed above or if you would like to know how their current diet is stacking up, schedule a time to meet up with one of our veterinarians. We'd love to work with you to make sure your pet is getting the most out of their diet!
