Did you know your pet's nutritional needs change throughout his or her lifetime?



"Gluten Free" ... "Mature Adult Formula" ... "Holistic" ... "Grain Free" ... "No By-Products" ... "Active Formula" ... "All Natural" ... "Farm Fresh" 


Huh?

The wording of pet food labels can be confusing. How do you know if your pet's diet is appropriate for her age and lifestyle?

The signs of nutritional imbalances may be obvious when you look at your pet. She may be overweight or have less energy, have a dull coat or dry skin. But it's hard to know if her nutritional needs are being met internally. And it's important to find out, because proper nutrition is a major component of good health. The right food keeps your pet healthy, active, and happy--both inside and out. 


An appropriate diet is vital to your pet's well-being. A good puppy or kitten food provides optimal nutrition and energy for young pets to grow up healthy and strong. A nutritionally balanced adult formula helps full-grown dogs and cats maintain an ideal weight and body condition. And a specialized senior diet gives older pets the nutritional support they need.

We're committed to helping you choose a food that will keep your pet healthy. We'll work together to decipher food labels. We'll explain what certain terms mean--and do not mean. And if a pet food label claims “reduced calories,” we'll tell you if it's the right choice for your overweight pet. We'll recommend the best food based on her age and lifestyle.  

  
So, come on in for your pet's annual exam today. We'll make sure she is getting the nutrition necessary to stay healthy and well.
