Nutrition Counseling
for Cats
Diet is an essential ingredient of your cat’s overall well-being. In fact, the appropriate diet can make all the difference in your cat’s health and happiness. Importantly, one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to diet, which is why we offer comprehensive nutrition counseling here at Cat Tales.
- When to consider nutrition counseling
Certain medical conditions can be managed or improved with the proper diet. Conversely, it’s important to know which foods to avoid in order to prevent a condition from getting worse. If your cat has any of these health issues, nutrition counseling can be a vital component of their healthcare:
- Chronic kidney disease
- Dermatitis and other inflammatory skin conditions
- Diabetes
- Food allergies or sensitivities
- Gastrointestinal conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, constipation
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Liver disease
- Obesity
In addition, you can turn to us for general guidance on your cat’s nutrition needs for each stage of their life—whether it’s a kitten, an adult feline or a senior cat.
- What nutrition counseling involves
One of our experienced veterinarians will spend time with you to obtain a complete picture of your cat’s situation and lifestyle including overall health, underlying conditions, activity level, other cats in the household, etc.
We’ll craft a nutrition plan based on all these factors and tailored to your cat’s individual needs and preferences. We’ll also provide guidance on such issues as how to avoid overeating, or how to feed different cats in a household different diets. And we’ll answer any questions you may have at any time.
To schedule a nutrition counseling session, simply call us at 530.517.5100.
