Rickets

Allergies

Fur loss

Vomiting

Bloating

Emaciation

How Can a Vet Help?

If your pet has been suffering with stomach upset, is having difficulty eating, or is experiencing new symptoms such as vomiting and weight loss, these all may indicate an issue with pet nutrition. A vet at our practice can conduct a full physical exam to determine if your pet is suffering from an ailment or medical condition causing their symptoms.

A veterinarian on our team may also ask you various questions regarding your pet's nutrition. They might inquire about changes in diet, how often your pet eats, what type of food they like, and other similar questions.

Through a pet exam, pet dental checkup, and bloodwork, our veterinarian will determine if your pet needs changes in their pet nutrition.

Changes might include:

Changing your pet's feeding schedule

Considering a special diet to include vitamins

Using different feeding equipment, such as bowls that prevent bloating or angled bowls

Upgrading your pet's food to get rid of fillers and incorporate more protein

Avoiding certain foods that could be triggering allergies

Restricting your pet's food to reduce weight, obesity, and control diabetes

Using this advice, a veterinarian on our team will be able to treat any nutritional issues your pet is facing. Our veterinarian will also be able to use pet nutrition as preventative care to help make your pet more resistant to disease and other ailments.
