Our nutritional consultations include a comprehensive physical exam, a review of your pet’s medical history, and an evaluation of their current diet. Based on this information, we develop a nutrition plan tailored to your pet’s age, breed, weight, and medical conditions.

Nutrition FAQs

The best diet for your pet depends on their species, age, activity level, health conditions, and individual nutritional needs. With so many pet food brands and dietary options available, choosing the right food can feel overwhelming. During a nutritional consultation at River Rock Animal Hospital, our veterinarians can evaluate your pet's current food and recommend alternative healthy options if needed. We welcome you bringing food labels to a consultation! 

Yes, we do. If your pet is overweight, our vets will develop a safe, realistic weight management plan. Losing weight too quickly or simply cutting back on food can lead to nutritional deficiencies and other health concerns. At our Midland veterinary clinic, we establish gradual weight loss plans for pets.

Signs of a possible food allergy or sensitivity in pets may include persistent itching, recurring ear infections, vomiting, diarrhea, or other digestive problems. Avoid switching foods repeatedly without veterinary guidance, as this can make identifying the underlying problem more difficult. Instead, book a consultation so that a veterinarian can discuss a diet trial with you or run diagnostics to rule out other health issues. 

Yes. Exotic pets often have highly specific nutritional requirements. Improper nutrition can contribute to serious health problems, including metabolic bone disease and digestive disorders. River Rock Animal Hospital offers nutritional guidance for exotic animal owners.
