Veterinary Nutrition and Weight Management Counseling in Tomball, TX

Your furry friend needs to consume a balanced, nutritious diet with healthy ratios of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and fiber, as well as vitamins and minerals. But not all pets are the same. Their needs may vary according to their age, weight, exercise level, breed, and any health concerns.

The following are some of the nutritional and weight management counseling services we offer at PetLife Urgent Care & Wellness Center:

Nutrition for Life Stages: We are happy to offer nutritional guidance for each stage of life. In general, kittens and puppies require foods higher in calorie count per serving to meet their rapid growth needs. Their foods must be rich in animal proteins, fat, calcium, phosphorus, and other essential nutrients. Adult dogs and cats require quality foods that promote overall well-being, good dental health, and optimal weight. Senior pets, on the other hand, may require reduced-calorie diets to meet lower energy requirements. They may also need supplements to support joint and general health.

Nutrition for Chronic Disease Management: We may recommend prescription diets specifically formulated to address health concerns, such as diabetes, kidney disease, gastrointestinal concerns, or joint health problems. We may also recommend specific foods and supplements to help combat pet allergies.

Nutrition for Weight Management: Like humans, pets often struggle with obesity, which can lead to serious problems such as joint pain or heart disease. We offer personalized recommendations to support your pet’s unique needs and may recommend lower-calorie foods, portion control, and increased exercise. Our goal is to gradually achieve a healthier weight without putting stress on your beloved furry family member.
