Nutrition Consultation

What your pet eats is exceptionally important at all stages of their life. However, many owners don’t realize that an animal’s nutritional requirements change as they age, and this means that what they may have been eating when they were young is unlikely to be an appropriate diet as they enter adulthood or their senior years. Being able to adapt your pet’s diet is a crucial part of responsible pet ownership.

As well as considering what you feed your pet, you’ll also need to take into account how much you are feeding. As owners, we are responsible for making sure that we don’t overfeed our animals. While it may seem better to give too much food than too little, most pets will continue to eat even after they are full. Over time, this could cause them to consume too many calories, put on weight and then start to experience health problems. Nutrition counseling helps owners to understand portion sizes for their pets and the consequences of failing to set these boundaries.
