Nutrition is one of the most important factors in maintaining good health. Proper nutrients are necessary for every organ system in the body to function properly. Nutritional deficiencies as well as excesses are a major problem in veterinary medicine.

Did you know?

• Over 60% of the pets we see over the age of 3 are overweight?
• Maintaining a pet at his/her ideal body weight can improve life expectancy by up to 20%? That means a 10 year old fit dog could live an extra 2 years at the right weight!
• Most skin problems have a nutritional component to them?
• Pets can become hypersensitive (allergic) to feeds with too much waste product or additives?
• Many gastrointestinal disturbances can be linked in inappropriate diet?

When we examine your pet, we will evaluate their nutritional status and make recommendations regarding the best diet for their specific needs. We have a variety of prescription diets for each life stage and medical condition that your pet may be faced with. We encourage monthly counseling sessions with one of our veterinarians or veterinary technician. They can help your pet achieve their ideal weight and condition. In addition, we have a number of aides available for you to help you keep the nutritional goals in the forefront of your mind.
