A Balanced Diet

What your pet eats can mean the difference between simply surviving and truly thriving. During a nutrition consult, our team will review your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, activity level, and medical history, then recommend a feeding plan that fits real life—portion sizes, treat guidelines, and meal timing included. We can also help you compare over-the-counter foods vs. veterinary diets and select options that support skin/coat health, digestion, and long-term vitality.

The Right Weight

A few extra pounds may be no big deal for a human, but for a companion animal it can contribute to serious health concerns over time. We’ll assess your pet’s Body Condition Score, determine an ideal weight range, and create a realistic plan that may include measured meals, calorie targets, and low-impact activity ideas.

Ongoing Maintenance

As pets grow older, their nutritional and weight control needs change. At key life stages—like the transition from puppy/kitten to adult, or adult to senior—we’ll re-check progress and adjust the plan to keep results steady and sustainable.

Common Questions We Hear

How much should I feed my pet? It depends on calories, body condition, and activity—not just the label.

Are treats “allowed”? Yes—when we budget them into the daily plan.

How fast should weight loss happen? Slow, steady progress is safest and easiest to maintain.
