The Importance of Consulting with Your Vet Regarding Pet Nutrition
There are more pet food brands on the market than we can possibly count, and most of them probably aren’t going to benefit your pet’s health. Enlisting your vet to find the right diet for your companion is important because with their knowledge of pet foods and of your pet’s medical history, they know better than anyone else what will work for them. We’ll take all the necessary factors into account to make sure your dog or cat is getting the nutrients they really need. Do they have a chronic illness like diabetes, or urinary issues? Do they need help losing weight? There’s a diet for that.
In addition, all of the pet foods we carry at our hospital (and others that we recommend) are formulated specifically for the needs of just about every pet. Also, they have undergone multiple rounds of testing to verify their quality.
Improve Your Pet’s Eating Habits
Along with providing you with guidance on what to feed your pet, how often, and in what quantities, we also recommend training them to not beg for handouts. While we understand that it’s not always easy to resist the demands of our adorable pets, indulging them with people food can derail their diet and cause them to put on excess weight. Pet obesity is an ever-growing problem for many dogs and cats, and over-feeding treats and giving handouts are often to blame. There are other, healthier ways to show your pet you love them, like keeping them fit and trim with a nutritious and balanced diet!
Is your pet a picky eater? Are they constantly begging for treats? Whatever concerns you have, we can help. Just call (603) 431-8785.
