If your dog is limping, it may be something minor like a torn nail or something more serious like a broken leg or torn ligament. Examine the paw if your dog allows it, but avoid manipulating the leg if they seem in pain. When in doubt, it's always best to consult your vet.

Nutrition &amp; Diet Counseling: Fueling Your Pet’s Health the Right Way Just like humans, nutrition plays a vital role in your pet’s health. The right food can boost energy, support healthy weight, improve skin and coat, strengthen the immune system, and even help manage chronic conditions. But with so many options out there—kibble, raw, grain-free, prescription diets—it’s not always easy to know what’s best.That’s where veterinary-guided nutrition and diet counseling comes in.Why Nutrition Matters at Every Life StageYour pet’s dietary needs evolve over time. A growing puppy or kitten requires different nutrients than a senior pet or one with food sensitivity. Breed, size, activity level, medical history, and even dental health can influence what kind of diet works best.Through routine wellness exams and tailored counseling, we help pet parents make informed decisions that align with long-term health goals.Common Reasons to Seek Nutrition Guidance<ul><li>Weight gain or obesity</li><li>Food allergies or sensitivities</li><li>Digestive issues (vomiting, diarrhea, or gas)</li><li>Kidney disease, diabetes, or pancreatitis</li><li>Poor coat condition or skin problems</li><li>Age-based dietary transitions</li><li>Switching food brands or formats</li></ul>If your pet has special medical needs, we may recommend a prescription diet to support their treatment plan.What to Expect from a Nutrition Consultation<ul><li>Thorough health review including lifestyle, age, and current diet</li><li>Body condition scoring (BCS) to assess ideal weight and energy needs</li><li>Customized feeding plan including brand, portion size, and schedule</li><li>Supplement recommendations when appropriate (e.g., joint, skin, digestive health)</li><li>Ongoing support for dietary changes, food transitions, or weight monitoring</li></ul>We work with you to create a plan that’s realistic, balanced, and easy to maintain at home.Should You Consider Prescription Pet Food?Some pets benefit from therapeutic diets that are scientifically formulated to support specific health conditions. These are typically available only through your veterinarian and are often part of a broader treatment plan for conditions like:<ul><li>Kidney disease</li><li>Urinary tract issues</li><li>Allergies</li><li>Diabetes</li><li>Gastrointestinal disorders</li></ul>We’ll let you know if this is a good option for your pet—and if not, we’ll recommend the best alternatives from trusted, high-quality sources.<div data-type="horizontalRule"><hr></div>Nutrition is one of the most powerful tools you have to keep your pet thriving. Whether you’re starting fresh with a new puppy or adjusting for age or health concerns, we’re here to guide every bite along the way.🥣 Have questions about your pet’s diet? Schedule a nutrition consultation with our team today.
