Nutrition Counseling

It is a challenge to pick the best foods for your pet and even more challenging to obtain reliable information that is not colored by a vendor's economic interest. We know a lot more about meeting your pet's nutritional requirements than we did even 20 years ago. It is important to realize that the ingredients of pet foods vary widely. Furthermore, we now know that your pet's dietary needs differ between species, breed, age, activity level, and health status. Fortunately, the highly trained and certified staff at Cleveland Pet Hospital & Health Center can help you choose the right diet. Ask to speak to a staff member who can create an individualized diet plan that meets your pet's needs. We are pleased to be able to offer an extensive variety of foods for your pets, ranging from all high quality life-stage appropriate diets to those made specifically for pets with medical conditions.

Being overweight and trying to stay in shape is not only a problem for humans. Pets also need to be put on specific diets and workout plans to stay in good health. There are a number of deficiencies that pets can run into in regards to nutrition that must be observed. Obesity has become a nationwide epidemic not only for its citizens but also for their pets. Medical science has discovered more and more evidence relating to the role that genetics, as well as certain health disorders such as a low thyroid hormone level, may play in its development. With your cooperation, our doctor can design a plan which if followed is successful in ridding your pet of excess weight. New medications are also now available to help accomplish this goal.
