Anticipatory Mourning

Pain Control

Nutrition and complicated nutrition requirements/needs for both healthy animals as well as those diagnosed with an illness or condition of any kind

There has recently been a great deal of controversy over “natural” or home prepared and raw diets. There is no single diet or feeding plan that is right for every dog or cat. It is my opinion that every animal (including those in the prime of health with no known illness) deserves a feeding and care plan that is designed for him or her and their own special needs. Perfectly prepared, organic food will not nourish the animal who is intolerant of or allergic to the ingredients! The management of weight and body condition is an essential part of the plan, as well.
