KEEPING YOUR PET HEALTHY THROUGH PROPER NUTRITION

Your pet’s nutritional needs will vary depending on their age, weight, and activity level. Puppies and kittens need nutrition that supports their growth and higher activity levels. Adult and senior pets will benefit from nutrition to support health issues, weight management or slowing physical activity levels.

Prescription Foods:

Nutrition is particularly important if your pet is sick or has been diagnosed with a long-term medical condition. Specially designed veterinary foods are an important tool in treating diabetes, hyperthyroidism, kidney failure, obesity and many gastrointestinal conditions. Skin problems may have a nutritional component as well. Indian Creek Pet Hospital has prescription diet foods our veterinarians recommend as most appropriate for your pet’s individual needs.
