Comprehensive Veterinary CarePet Nutritional Counseling in Ann Arbor MI
Proper nutrition is the foundation of your pet’s overall health and longevity. At Arbor Hills Animal Clinic, we provide pet nutritional counseling in Ann Arbor, MI, helping pet owners choose the best diet to support weight management, allergies, and chronic conditions.
Why Is Pet Nutrition Important?
Nutrition plays a critical role in your pet’s daily well-being and long-term health. A healthy diet helps maintain an ideal weight, reducing the risk of obesity-related issues like diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease. It also supports growth and development in puppies and kittens, ensures senior pets get the nutrients they need for aging gracefully, and helps manage food allergies or sensitivities.
In some cases, nutrition becomes part of the treatment plan itself. Pets with conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, or gastrointestinal disorders often require specially formulated diets to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. With the right food and feeding routine, we can make a meaningful impact on your pet’s health.
What Our Nutritional Counseling Includes
Our nutrition services go beyond the food label. During your pet’s visit, we’ll assess their age, breed, activity level, medical history, and current diet to create a nutrition plan that fits their unique needs. Our counseling may include:
- Choosing the Right Diet: Guidance on commercial foods, prescription diets, and even raw or home-cooked options
- Weight Management: Custom feeding plans to help pets lose or gain weight safely
- Medical Nutrition Therapy: Diet strategies to support chronic conditions or recovery from illness
- Treat & Supplement Advice: Helping you make smart choices that support your pet’s health goals
Whether your pet is a picky eater or needs a complete dietary overhaul, we’re here to help you make informed, science-backed decisions.
Who Benefits from Nutritional Counseling?
