As a registered veterinary technician with a diploma in animal nutrition – I am legally unable to diagnose medical conditions. I am also not legally able to prescribe a certain diet for the management of a disease. My role is supportive to your veterinary team – I can walk you through key nutritional factors, review diet options, and I can create diets that are balanced according to nutritional profiles established through research for the nutritional management & support of disease. I will recommend & review premade diet options when appropriate.
*For dogs with kidney disease, liver disease or urinary disease – these conditions can require dietary management outside of AAFCO nutrient profile. I strongly believe working with a board-certified veterinary nutritionist to create a homemade recipe is your best option [DVM, DACVIM (Nutrition)].
Follow-Ups and/or Recipe Reformulation: $40 e.
