Good Nutrition Is a Key Ingredient to Your Pet’s Health
Maintaining a healthy diet isn’t just good for people, it’s good for pets too. Cachet Village Animal Hospital offers nutritional counseling as part of your pet’s wellness plan. Your pet’s age, weight, and activity level are all considered when diet recommendations are made. We offer guidance in all areas relating to nutrition, including:
- Weight management—Pets who maintain lean body weight are more likely to live longer, more active lives. We will help you determine just the right amount to feed your pet to ensure the ability to maintain an optimal weight.
- Special needs diets—Medical conditions can necessitate special dietary restrictions. If your pet has a specific condition that requires a special diet, we will thoroughly review the recommended diet and offer suggestions on how to obtain any specially required food.
- Life-stage diets—Each stage of your pet’s life has a different dietary recommendation, from puppies and kittens that are highly active, to seniors who lead a more sedate, restful life. At your annual wellness exam we will review the stage your pet is at and suggest the appropriate diet to meet your pet’s needs.
Please be sure to watch for any sudden changes in your pet’s eating habits. Any sudden weight losses or gains can be symptomatic of many underlying diseases. Please contact us if you have questions regarding any changes you may have noticed.
