Nutritional Counseling

Personalized Pet Nutrition Counseling

Just like people, pets have unique dietary needs that change throughout their lives. At Ox Bottom Animal Hospital, we offer expert nutritional counseling to help your pet stay healthy, active, and thriving—no matter their age or medical history.

Whether you’re navigating food allergies, weight issues, or managing a chronic illness, our team is here to guide you toward choices that fuel your pet’s well-being from bowl to tail.

Why Nutrition Matters

Good nutrition is the foundation of a long, vibrant life. What your pet eats affects their weight, energy, immune system, skin, coat, digestion, and even their mood.

The right diet can also support pets with conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, diabetes, or gastrointestinal sensitivities—helping reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. With so many foods, formulas, and marketing claims out there, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s where we come in.

How Nutritional Counseling Helps

Our team will work closely with you to develop a customized feeding plan that fits your pet’s specific health status, preferences, and lifestyle. Depending on your pet’s needs, nutritional counseling may focus on:

• Weight management for overweight or underweight pets
• Allergy-friendly diets for pets with food sensitivities
• Prescription or therapeutic diets for chronic conditions
• Life stage nutrition for puppies, kittens, adults, and seniors
• Supplement recommendations to support joint, digestive, or skin health
• Guidance on treats, portion control, and feeding schedules

A Collaborative, Compassionate Approach

We take the time to listen to your concerns, understand your routines, and answer your questions.

Whether you’re feeding kibble, raw, canned, or home-cooked meals, our goal is to build a plan that’s practical, sustainable, and tailored to your pet’s long-term health. We believe nutrition counseling should be empowering, not overwhelming—and we’re here to make every bite count.

Supporting Health from the Inside Out

With expert guidance and a personalized plan, nutrition can become one of the most powerful tools in your pet’s healthcare. At Ox Bottom Animal Hospital, we’re proud to support pet parents across Tallahassee with compassionate, informed care that helps pets live their happiest, healthiest lives.
