Prescription Pet Food
Our pet’s longevity and quality of life intimately correlate with the food we feed them. All animals need a balanced diet to remain happy, playful, and healthy, which is why Pacific Animal Hospital provides prescription pet food tailored to your pet’s needs.
When Is a Pet’s Therapeutic Diet Needed?
Prescription pet foods, also called therapeutic diets, may be required in several circumstances. Pets with the following health conditions might benefit from a therapeutic diet or prescription pet food.
- Food allergies
- Diabetes and other endocrine disorders
- Kidney disease
- Weight management problems
- Arthritis and other orthopedic conditions
- Skin and/or coat health problems
- Gastrointestinal issues
- Liver disease
What Separates Prescription Pet Food from Regular Pet Food?
There are situations where it’s unclear exactly which ingredients, or how much of them, are in typical commercial pet food. Foods of a higher caliber that are offered for sale generally disclose components more effectively. These premium pet food brands and kinds will provide your normal or healthy pet with everything it needs to thrive, including a well-balanced diet.
However, nutritional requirements should be more precisely addressed for pets with health issues. While some elements are completely necessary, others should be avoided. Prescription pet food is the only method to ensure that your pet gets the nutrients it needs and avoids potentially harmful ones.
We are always pleased to offer dietary advice to our patients, regardless of whether their pets need a therapeutic diet. When selecting the ideal food for your pet, we’ll consider their medical background, present health, and risk factors for certain diseases.
