Nutritional Counseling

The experienced veterinarians at Family Pet Health Care realize that there are countless pet food brands and types that all claim to be the best on the market. Choosing a diet and providing your pet with proper nutrition and adequate exercise are more important to the health and well-being of your pet than you may realize. It’s a fact that many diseases are rooted in poor nutrition. Through our nutritional counseling services, we’ll help you choose the best food option and design an exercise plan specifically suited for your pet.

Dogs and cats require 30 essential nutrients in their diet including protein, essential acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Poor diet due to deficits in these nutrients can lead to conditions such as obesity, skin and coat issues, reduced resistance to disease, pancreatitis, and diabetes to name a few. To help prevent health problems such as these, your pet’s food should meet their caloric needs and should contain complete and balanced nutrition.

During a nutritional consultation at Family Pet Health Care, we will take into account your pet’s breed, weight, age, activity level, and special dietary needs. Based on these criteria, we will develop a plan to help your pet maintain a healthy exercise level and weight. Our service includes:

  • • Diet information and advice for your pet
  • • Analysis of current feeding regimen
  • • Supplementation when necessary
  • • Balanced diet formulations
  • • Consultations for ongoing conditions when needed
  • • Exercise recommendations based on your pet’s condition and activity level

With the help of our nutritional guidance, and through regular checkups, we can help your pets stay strong and in excellent health.

    April H.
  • “I took my dog, Waylan, here and was referred to Dr. Berschneider who Waylan loved immensely. She worked on his back alignment as well as acupuncture. She soon diagnosed him with a torn ACL and he went on to have surgery. She found the cause of his pain by listening to him when several other doctor offices wrote it off as minor unrelated issues. I have been to 3 different vets and this is the only one that took his discomfort seriously and found the cause of the problem.”
