 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?
- Nutritional issues are the number one cause of medical problems
in captive birds and reptiles?
When we examine your pet, we will evaluate their nutritional status
and make specific recommendations regarding proper nutrition for your
pet. We have a variety of prescription diets for each life stage and
medical condition that we may be faced with.
When we start your pet on a nutrition program, we continue to counsel
you on a continuing basis. We encourage monthly counseling sessions with
our trained nutritional counselors. 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.
