Pet Nutritional Counseling

Pet Nutritional Counseling

The health and well-being of your pet depend on proper nutrition from the moment you bring them home until their last days. Even well-intentioned pet owners concerned about nutrition can easily assume they are buying the right food for their pet without realizing that a pet’s nutritional demands change as they age or become more active.

Choosing the correct diet for your pet is important because it can assist your pet in avoiding or lessening the effects of various medical conditions. These conditions include diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and arthritis.

Your pet’s first and best line of defense against nutritional deficits that can result in other medical concerns is the nutritional counseling services offered by Shelton Veterinary Center. Similarly, if your pet already has a condition, our knowledgeable team can suggest specially-made foods to help with the management.

There are numerous reasons to engage a qualified consultant. The vast array of items available on the market may be too much for pet owners to handle. Concerns about calorie intake and over- or underfeeding your pet may also exist. Our nutritional specialists can assess your pet’s health, including any existing conditions, age, and activity, before recommending the best diet.
