Nutritional Counselling
The team at Gloucester Veterinary Hospital offers nutritional counselling for your cats and dogs in Orléans. We can also provide a variety of food options to help keep your pet healthy.
Veterinary Guidance for Nutrition
Your pet's dietary needs and preferences can change significantly depending on their breed, species, age, and health. We are here to offer dietary counselling to help you pinpoint the food that best fits your pet's needs.
Cats and dogs can have specific dietary needs as a result of their age and the health conditions they develop throughout their life. Your veterinarian will use their knowledge and the necessary tools to develop a specialized diet that helps manage medical issues.
We look forward to working alongside you to provide a veterinarian-approved nutrition plan that helps your pet feel their best for the many years to come!
The Nutritional Counselling Process
To begin, we'll conduct a health analysis and a physical examination to identify your pet’s unique nutritional needs. Using that information, we will create a custom food plan.
Your veterinarian may recommend using prescription diet food products if they provide added benefits for your pet that regular products do not.
Your pet's nutritional needs can change as they age, so it is important that we revisit their food plan every now and then. As a pet owner, you often notice changes in your furry friend's eating behaviour or weight first. If this is the case, do not hesitate to book a veterinary appointment so a professional can reassess their nutritional needs.
