Our veterinary surgeons would be more than happy to assist you with choosing the very best diet for your pet. Your veterinary surgeon has the training required, plus the intimate knowledge of your pet’s needs, to make an educated decision for optimising your pet’s nutritional needs.
Veterinary consultation is required for our prescription diet foods and our supplements.
Call us to schedule an appointment to discuss your pet’s nutritional needs.
Why do pets need a specific diet?
Diets are specifically tailored for a species and the pet’s particular needs. Nutritional requirements of dogs, cats and humans differ. Feeding your pet human scraps might not be helping their diet and may even be harmful as not all “human foods” are safe for pets, and a food developed for a particular species is not meant to be fed to another species.
The optimal diet varies from species to species, and contains an ideal ratio of the major essential nutrients of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, as well as adequate levels of trace nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. The specific requirements of an individual within a species may vary somewhat by age, health, and level of exercise. Over the course of a day, a properly balanced diet should meet the animal's caloric needs for energy, and should not exceed its maximum energy requirements.
Dietary needs vary for:
- Puppies and kittens
- Adult dogs and cats
- Senior dogs and cats
- Overweight dogs
- Underweight dogs
- Diabetic dogs and cats
- Nursing bitches
- Medical condition diets
- Rabbits
- Hamsters and other small pocket pets
