An essential guide for veterinary professionals on appropriate nutrition for animals under their care.

Veterinary professionals are often called upon to provide guidance on appropriate nutrition for animals under their care. Nutrition is the cornerstone of all good veterinary care and should form part of the discussion with every pet owner seeking advice about their pet. Veterinary professionals should provide advice based on sound scientific evidence, whenever available, excellent clinical reasoning and informed risk management. Given the wealth of information available to pet owners, it is the responsibility of veterinary professionals to assist clients in making decisions about what to feed their pet.
