Course Description: Dietary protein is important in both health and disease, and nutritional intervention often includes recommendations to adjust protein consumption. However, this is not always an easy recommendation to make in the clinical setting; assessing and quantifying protein intake can be challenging, and implementing changes in dietary protein is rarely straightforward. This lecture will focus on practical methods of assessing protein intake and recommending modifications in dietary protein for canine and feline patients with protein-responsive medical conditions.
