At Golden Valley Animal Care, we offer nutritional counseling for pet owners in El Paso and the surrounding communities. We are happy to provide guidance and help you determine the ideal diet based on your pet's stage of life, health concerns, and unique needs. Whether it is navigating through different life stages, weight management, or addressing chronic diseases, our goal is to ensure your furry companion enjoys a healthy, vibrant life.
Nutrition for Different Life Stages
From playful puppies and kittens to adulthood and then the golden years, each life stage comes with its unique nutritional needs. We are happy to offer counseling to ensure your pet receives the right balance of nutrients to support growth, maintain a healthy weight, and age gracefully.
Here is a look at the different life stages and their unique dietary needs:
- Puppies and Kittens: Your tiny kitten or puppy needs foods rich in nutrients with a higher calorie count to meet the rapid growth and development needs.
- Adult Pets: Your adult pet needs to consume a balanced, nutritious diet to maintain optimal weight and health.
- Senior Pets: Older dogs and cats may require foods that promote mobility, maintain joint health, and address unique age-related health concerns.
Nutrition for Weight Management
Obesity is a serious problem for pets, with impacts on their health and overall quality of life. It is one of the leading causes of joint pain, reduced mobility, and chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes.
Our veterinary team will evaluate your pet's unique needs and work with you to devise a personalized nutrition and weight management plan. We may recommend a diet low in calorie count per serving but rich in essential nutrients for optimal health. We will discuss meal portions and feeding schedules and also help you develop an exercise routine to achieve a healthier weight and enhance your pet’s quality of life.
Additional Nutritional Considerations
Other factors to consider may include allergies, food sensitivities, chronic diseases, illnesses, injuries, or post-surgical recovery. We will develop a custom nutritional plan to address your furry friend’s specific requirements to promote healing, overall health, and ongoing wellness.
