Pet Nutritional Counseling in York, ME
At Village Veterinary Clinic, we offer personalized nutritional counseling to help owners make informed decisions about their pet’s diet. From weight management to medical nutrition therapy, our veterinarians provide expert guidance to ensure dogs and cats receive the nourishment they need for long-term health.
Why Pet Nutrition Matters
Nutrition is the foundation of good health. A well-balanced diet supports growth, energy, immunity, and overall well-being. Poor nutrition, on the other hand, can contribute to obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, heart problems, and skin conditions.
Because every pet is unique, there is no one-size-fits-all diet. Age, breed, activity level, and underlying health conditions all play a role in determining the right nutrition plan. Our veterinary team is here to help you sort through the overwhelming number of pet food options and tailor recommendations to your pet’s needs.
