Veterinarian-Recommended Nutrition

Proper nutrition is the foundation of your pet’s health and happiness, but selecting the right food for your pet’s life stage, health, and individual needs can be complicated.

Using the latest scientific research, our veterinarians will design a diet for your pet’s specific health needs. Tailored nutrition recommendations ensure you’re not just feeding your pet, but promoting a higher quality of life at every meal.

Proper Nutrition for a Lifetime of Health

Pets have unique nutritional needs at every life stage to ensure growth and development, maintain health, and prevent age-related decline. To support your pet at every age, we’ll discuss your pet’s diet—including what and how much you feed—at every wellness visit. Based on your pet’s exam results, our veterinarians may recommend a different nutritional plan or portion size.

Therapeutic Diets for Health Conditions

Veterinary therapeutic diets are scientifically proven, research-backed nutrition specifically designed to support pets with various health conditions. These diets are carefully formulated and tested to ensure optimal nutrition while promoting better health function. Therapeutic nutrition can sometimes reverse or slow disease progression and may replace daily medication. 

Conditions that may benefit from a therapeutic diet include:

Obesity
Excess weight can lead to joint pain, diabetes, and decreased life expectancy. A tailored diet plan and portion control can help your pet safely reach and maintain a healthy weight.
Arthritis
Joint pain and inflammation can limit your pet’s mobility and comfort. Nutritional supplements and anti-inflammatory diets can ease symptoms and support joint health.
Kidney disease
Chronic kidney disease can affect your pet’s ability to filter waste from the body. Prescription diets with controlled protein and phosphorus levels can slow progression and reduce symptoms.
Dental disease
Poor oral health can lead to pain, tooth loss, and infections. Dental diets and chews help reduce tartar and support better oral hygiene between cleanings.
Allergies
Food and environmental allergies can cause skin issues, itching, and digestive problems. Hypoallergenic or limited-ingredient diets can minimize flare-ups and improve quality of life.
Gastrointestinal disorders
Digestive issues like vomiting or diarrhea can stem from food intolerance or illness. Easily digestible diets with targeted nutrients can help soothe the gut and restore balance.
