Nutritional Counseling

Nutrition is a critical part of what we do for pets at Clarksburg Animal Hospital. Many diseases can be successfully and  less expensively managed with diet adjustments and supplements. If it is an option for the condition, we prefer to start with diet changes and supplements over medications. We’ll help guide you through what can sometimes be a confusing world of dietary options and provide nutritional consultations. Our veterinarian can make suggestions for certain supplements that they think will help keep your pet in optimal health and prevent and manage some medical conditions.

Dietary management is an essential part of your pet’s treatment plan. Diets and supplements formulated to manage health problems in dogs and cats are a wonderful option in maintaining your companion animal’s overall health. In many cases, we can make your pet feel better, live happier, and ultimately live longer without the need for long term medications – simply by making a change to the diet and supplement regimen.

​​Specially formulated diets and supplements have been created to help treat and manage:

  • Kidney Failure
  • Intestinal Problems
  • Diabetes
  • Obesity
  • Bladder Stones
  • Joint Disease & Arthritis
  • Food Allergies
  • Tarter Control
  • Dementia or Cognitive Dysfunction

We carry limited Hill’s prescription diets, but have the ability to special order for you.  You can also order through our online store and get home delivery and automatic shipments for all diets including Hills, Purina, and Royal Canin

We have some supplements in house and others available through our Online Store. We will guide you to the best option for you if we decide to add supplements.
