Therapeutic diets – helping our pets
Nutrition has become a much bigger part of Veterinary medicine than previous. The main reason is the development of a large range of specific therapeutic diets we have available.
These diets have been developed with cutting edge research that shows how certain ingredients and combination of ingredients can influence the body in beneficial ways. The Use of therapeutic diets have helped us improve the quality and length of of life for so many pets.
We all know that eating healthier makes you feel better, but understanding how these diets work is equally important.
What if you were told that your diet could;
– help you lose weight by activating the genes responsible for metabolism and caloric burn
– slow down the genes responsible for causing arthritis, improving joint health, and reducing pain
– clean your teeth when you ate
– protect your damaged kidneys and help them work for longer
– Dissolve your bladder stone
– improve brain function and reduce the signs of dimentia
– control your overactive thyroid gland
– help manage your diabetes
– Reduce the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease
Well our pets are fortunate because that is exactly what Veterinary therapeutic diets can do.
We are able to prescribe therapeutic diets which help manage a whole range of problems and disease, such as;
- Kidney disease
- Joint disease
- Dental Health
- Gastrointestinal problems/diarrhoea
- Urinary tract disorders
- Bladder stones
- Weight management
- Thyroid disease
- Diabetes
- Pancreatitis
- Food allergies
- Skin allergies
- Dimentia/brain aging
We rely on these greatly these days as a way to avoid medication and drugs for many pets.
The best part is that you have the confidence of knowing that when we prescribe or recommend a particular diet, we choose only diets that have been clinically proven to work.
