Pet Nutritional Counseling
What Is Pet Nutritional Counseling?
Pet nutritional counseling is a service that helps assess, guide, and monitor your pet’s diet and health goals.
It includes:
- Evaluating your pet’s current food and treats
- Assessing body condition score (BCS) and weight
- Recommending prescription or life-stage diets
- Creating safe weight loss or gain plans
- Addressing food allergies, digestive issues, or chronic diseases like kidney disease or diabetes
Our veterinarians are experienced in tailoring nutritional plans to suit each pet’s age, breed, activity level, and medical history, so they feel their best from the inside out.
We’re proud to serve pets and their families throughout Los Gatos, Campbell, San Jose, Santa Cruz, and Monte Sereno with personalized, evidence-based dietary care.

What to Expect During a Nutrition Visit
During your appointment, we’ll perform a thorough physical exam, take measurements, and discuss your pet’s lifestyle and food history.
