Food Therapy

Food has more to offer than just its calories or nutrients. Each food possesses additional properties that can be used to manage a variety of conditions, as well as prevent the development of disease. Food therapy may be in the form of home-cooking a custom-formulated diet, careful selection of commercially-prepared foods, or simply adding specific foods to the animal’s regular diet.

When creating complete and balanced diets or dealing with a certain disease that requires specific nutritional requirements (young animals, kidney disease, liver disease, cancer), a veterinary nutritionist may be consulted for the safest and most appropriate diet recommendations created specifically for your pet. Homemade, commercially available, and various other diet options will be discussed to determine the best option for your pet and family.
