Nutrition.
Food advice should make everyday feeding clearer. Nutrition care considers what your pet eats, how their body is changing and whether a health concern calls for a different approach. Together, we can work toward a feeding plan that suits your pet's needs and is practical for your household.

Everything you need to know.
How do I choose the right food for my pet?
Start with your pet's species, life stage, body condition and medical needs. Bring the exact food name and label to your visit. Your veterinarian can help assess whether it is suitable and whether a therapeutic diet or specialist advice would be useful.
How much should I feed, including treats?
The right amount depends on your pet’s age, weight, activity level and health needs. Package directions can be a starting point, but your veterinarian can help you create a detailed feeding plan tailored to your pet, including how treats fit into their daily intake.
How can I tell whether my pet is a healthy weight?
Your veterinarian can help determine whether your pet is in a healthy weight range by assessing their weight, body shape and muscle condition. If changes are needed, we’ll work with you on nutrition guidance, a feeding plan and a recheck schedule to support their progress.
Could food be causing itching or stomach problems?
It can play a role, but many other conditions cause similar signs. Discuss symptoms before repeatedly switching diets. A suspected food reaction may need a carefully controlled diet trial, with instructions about treats and other foods as well as meals.
Are raw or home-prepared diets suitable?
Both deserve a careful discussion about nutritional balance and food safety. Home-prepared recipes can miss essential nutrients, and raw foods can carry harmful microbes. Ask your veterinarian if you’d like support with designing a suitable meal plan.
Should I give vitamins or supplements?
Not automatically. Supplements can be unnecessary, interact with treatment or unbalance a diet. Bring the product and ingredient list before starting one. Ask what problem it is intended to address and what evidence supports its use for your pet.
What should I bring to a nutrition visit?
Please have the name of your pet’s food and their measured daily amounts ready, along with details of treats, supplements, medications and any recent weight changes. Note practical concerns such as appetite, cost or multiple pets sharing food. Ask whether a longer consultation or follow-up is needed and what it costs.
