Which diet is the best? We all want to feed the best food we can for our pets, but there is not one diet that fits all. When deciding on a diet to feed, consideration should be made based on pet needs, nutrient profiles, quality control, availability, and personal preferences. Of course your pet needs to enjoy the food as well.

The focus of a diet should be the nutrients and not the ingredients. Cats and dogs have species-specific nutrient requirements. Formulated diets in general provide complete and balanced nutrition including essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.

We look at each pet as an individual and discuss diets that would benefit your pet based on health assessment and research from board certified veterinary nutritionists.

The amount to feed depends on the food type, food nutrient profile, and your pet’s need. Caloric requirements change based on age, health, weight, and life-style. Do you have a couch potato or an adventurer?

Starting with the recommendations on the food label is a general guide to meet the nutritional needs of the average dog or cat. We are happy to formulate a feeding amount and schedule based on your pet’s food, body condition, and health concerns.

We sell veterinary approved diets and supplements in clinic and online. The products we believe in are backed by science.

With veterinary approval some conditions can be managed by therapeutic diets. Our vet team commonly prescribes diets for kidney disease, obesity, urinary health, diabetes, and more.

Neighborhood Vet believes supplements can support the health and well being of pets. Our team is knowledgeable in the latest products with the highest quality control.
