Prescription Pet Food
For normal and healthy pets, a high-quality, nutritious diet is the best choice, and our veterinarians can help you select a well-balanced pet food brand and variety that can be found at a regular pet supply store to meet your pet’s normal needs. Some cats and dogs, however, will benefit greatly from receiving a modified diet of prescription pet food.
What Is Prescription Pet Food?
Prescription pet foods are specialized diets available to pets with a veterinarian’s prescription only. Prescription pet foods are designed to help pets who have been diagnosed with a wide range of conditions by meeting their unique dietary needs. While prescription pet foods aren’t medicine, they are a holistic method of treatment that focuses on giving a pet’s body the nutritional tools it needs to stay healthy.
The Wonders of Nutrition: Could Prescription Pet Food Benefit Your Pet?
Pets in different life stages and those diagnosed with a variety of health conditions can benefit greatly from eating a modified, prescription diet. With specially formulated foods, prescription diets aim to help pets manage:
- Food allergies
- Skin and coat problems
- Diabetes
- Healthy development
- Gastrointestinal concerns and digestive issues
- Kidney disease
- Age-related diseases and aging
- Arthritis and other mobility issues
- Weight loss and weight management
Depending on your pet’s age, medical history, current condition, and lifestyle, our veterinarians might recommend feeding your cat or dog a prescription diet. Some pets will also benefit from simply adding a regimen of high-quality nutritional supplements to your pet’s regular meals.
