"Complete and balanced" is on almost every bag of pet food. But what does it actually mean and is your pet's current diet right for their age, breed, and health status?
Nutrition is one of the most impactful factors in your pet's long-term health, and it's one of the most confusing areas for pet owners to navigate.
Here's what we look at during a nutrition conversation:
πΎ Life stage β puppies, adults, and seniors have very different needs
βοΈ Body condition score β not just weight, but how weight is distributed
𦴠Breed-specific considerations β large breeds, brachycephalic breeds, and working dogs all have unique requirements
π₯ Health conditions β kidney disease, allergies, diabetes, and joint issues all have dietary implications
π₯© Raw, grain-free, prescription diets, weight loss β we'll help you sort through the noise with evidence-based guidance
β Contact irritants
β Underlying hormonal conditions like hypothyroidism
ATTENTION BREEDERS! Did you know that allergies are often hereditary? It is a good idea to add allergies to your list of health considerations when adding an individual to your gene pool!
