Nutrition and Dietary Counseling


 “Let food be thy first medicine." 
​ -----  
Hippocrates


How can your veterinary team determine the best diet to feed your pet?
​

We all know our pets differ greatly, the same goes for their nutritional needs! Your veterinary team will gather specific information about your pet, and with this information will make a nutritional assessment. Information including medical history, physical exam findings, medications and supplements and diagnostic testing all need to be considered when making a individual diet recommendation.
