NAVTA Sponsored Webinar

Program Description:

Every pet deserves and should receive a nutritional recommendation on every visit. Nutrition is one area of veterinary medicine that affects every pet that comes into the hospital.  When a pet receives a therapeutic pet food recommendation navigating the conversation will help with compliance. It will help the pet parent accept the recommendation and does not change the food recommendation to something that may not be appropriate. You can be instrumental in guiding a pet parent, answering questions and determining feeding amounts. Follow up is imperative for success of a new food. The veterinary health care team can pay an integral role in helping pet owners successfully switch to a new therapeutic food.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the importance of communication about nutrition to pet parents with pets a medical condition requiring a therapeutic food.
2. Understand the importance of feeding a therapeutic food to manage a medical condition.
3. Understand why a wellness food is not a substitution for a therapeutic food.
