Overview

About Nutrition

Nutrition is the foundation of health. Over 50% of American pets are overweight or obese, leading to arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and shortened lifespans. The right diet can prevent disease, manage chronic conditions, and add years to your pet's life.

Our veterinarians provide evidence-based nutrition counseling — not just brand recommendations. We assess body condition, calculate caloric needs, and design feeding plans for optimal health. We also prescribe therapeutic diets for conditions like kidney disease, food allergies, and urinary issues.
