Nutrition Advice for Pets

At Attadale Veterinary Hospital, we believe good nutrition is one of the foundations of a healthy, happy life for your pet. Whether your furry friend is a growing puppy or kitten, a senior pet, or managing a medical condition, the right diet can make a big difference in their health, energy levels, and overall wellbeing.

Why Nutrition Matters

A balanced, high-quality diet supports:

• Healthy skin and a shiny coat

• Strong teeth and bones

• Digestive health and regular bowel movements

• Immune function

• Healthy weight and muscle tone

• Energy and mood

• Long-term disease prevention

Just like humans, pets have changing nutritional needs at different life stages and may require specialised diets to support specific health concerns.

When to Seek Nutrition Advice

Our veterinary team is here to support you with tailored nutrition advice if your pet:

• Is overweight or underweight

• Has food sensitivities or allergies

• Is experiencing skin, coat, or digestive issues

• Has a chronic health condition (such as kidney disease, diabetes, arthritis, or urinary issues)

• Is a senior pet with changing energy or nutrient needs

• Is a growing puppy or kitten who needs extra support

• Is a working, active, or pregnant animal with higher energy demands

• Is a fussy eater or experiencing changes in appetite

We can help you understand what’s in your pet’s food, how much they should be eating, and whether supplements or prescription diets might benefit them.
