Pet Nutritional Counseling

At South Bay Animal Hospital & Emergency, we believe nutrition plays a vital role in your pet’s overall health and quality of life. Our knowledgeable veterinarians are well-versed in pet nutrition and are here to help guide you in choosing the right diet for your pet’s unique needs.

The Importance of Proper Nutrition for Pets

Just like people, pets benefit from a diet that supports their individual health, activity level, and life stage. Our veterinarians can provide guidance on nutrition that supports disease prevention, manages chronic conditions, and improves your pet’s overall well-being.

We primarily work with Hill’s Science Diet to address a variety of health issues, including:

• Gastrointestinal concerns

• Joint and mobility issues

• Skin sensitivities and food allergies

• Weight management and obesity

• Kidney, liver, and urinary tract conditions
