Nutrition & Weight Management

Nutrition & Weight Management

Sage Creek Animal Hospital offers skilled, evidence-based pet nutrition counseling for your animal friends. Ever heard the expression that “you are what you eat”? Well, the same is true for our pets! A healthy, balanced diet is your pet’s first line of defense and a cornerstone of preventive care. Proper daily nutrition will go a long way in keeping your pet healthy. It bolsters the immune system and supports normal development in younger animals. Good nutrition is essential for your pet’s well-being, energy levels, and longevity.  

A Recipe for Health 

At Sage Creek Animal Hospital, we have decades of experience counseling pet owners about proper nutrition for pets of all ages, breeds, conditions, and lifestyles. Diet ultimately plays a large part in your pet’s quality of life. We’re eager to share some veterinary insight about proper nutrition. Whether you are looking for puppy or kitten food recommendations or adult and senior pet nutrition advice, we’re ready to help you make informed decisions about your pet’s diet to ensure they thrive. 

Every pet’s nutritional needs differ based on age, breed, health conditions, and lifestyle factors. This can complicate choosing the right pet food. Additionally, there’s a lot of information (and some very slick ad campaigns) out there regarding pet food, and not all of it is trustworthy! Our veterinarians and staff can take the guesswork out of feeding your pets by advising you about what’s best for your pet.  

Weight Management for Pets

Just a few extra pounds on a cat or dog can make the difference between a healthy weight and an obese weight. Obesity is a growing concern among pet owners because it not only diminishes a pet’s quality of life, but it can also lead to several more severe health problems in cats and dogs, including:

  • Arthritis and joint problems
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Diabetes
  • Limited mobility
  • Respiratory problems 

If your pet has put on some extra weight, our veterinarians can help you establish an appropriate weight management plan that includes both dietary and exercise recommendations to get your pet back to a healthy weight.
