Nutrition Counselling

The saying “you are what you eat” rings true for animals as well. The foods your pet eats determines their health and growth. To ensure your furry friend gets the most nourishment from their foods our nutritionists have created a wellness plan that includes special diets and recommendations that promote healthy growth and sustenance in your pet.

What is nutrition counselling for pets?

Nutrition counselling is a nutritional checkup for your pet. It keeps our team informed about your loyal companion’s eating schedule, the types of foods they eat and any increase or decrease in appetite. This checkup keeps owners and veterinarians on the same page about the pet’s health when tracking their development. Based on the assessment we may recommend supplements or special diets where we add or remove certain foods. To schedule your pet’s nutrition counselling call 613-433-3100.

Does my senior pet, puppy or kitten need special foods?

This can definitely be overwhelming but fear not! Our veterinarians can recommend certain formulations that will be the best choices for your pet!

What foods should I avoid feeding my pet?

We know it’s hard to resist those soft eyes when your pet is begging for a bite of your food. But, control is key as some ingredients may be harmful to them. Before you introduce any new foods to your pet you should get your veterinarian’s perspective. Some foods you should avoid feeding your furry friend are:

• Onions and garlic
• Milk or dairy products
• Alcohol
• Raisins and grapes
