Deshon Animal Hospital Offers Nutritional Counseling for Your Pet

As humans, we know how important a healthy diet is to our overall well-being and the same applies to your pets. Being overweight and out of shape makes us feel tired, inactive, and unhealthy, overall. In addition, we are at risk for developing physical illnesses if we don’t properly take care of our bodies. Most of us treat our animals like a member of the family, which is why it’s important to take care of them as you would yourself, if not better. Fortunately, Deshon Animal Hospital can assist through this process by providing your pet with nutritional counseling.

Pets need to be put on specific diets and workout plans to stay in good health, just like humans do. By keeping your pet on a proper diet and workout plan, it can increase their life expectancy by up to 2-3 years. On top of the extended life expectancy, you will also notice a happier pet with fewer stomach issues, less sensitive skin, and a nicer coat. This is because through proper nutritional counseling your pet is receiving the proper nutrients he or she needs.

Upon evaluating your pet’s current nutritional condition and nutritional habits, we will make specific recommendations as to the type and amount of food your pet should be eating as well as any supplements he or she might need. In addition, our staff will provide you with a workout program for your pet that will keep them active and healthy.

If you are interested in receiving nutritional counseling for your pet, please give us a call. For questions or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Jamal Toler DVM, call 770-482-7816 or visit the Deshon Animal Hospital website, www.deshonanimal.com.
