With so many diets available on the market today for dogs and cats, it is difficult to make a well-informed decision about what to feed our pets. Many factors must be evaluated before choosing a diet. We must consider the age of the pet, weight, body condition and heath status to determine the nutritional needs of the animal. We can then evaluate diets based on the requirements for that individual pet. Prescription Diet a/d Is our Recovery/Hospitalization diet. Highly palatable and nutrient dense, this diet is often used to entice our sick dogs and cats to eat. Prescription Diet c/d An acidifying diet for dogs and cats who need an acid pH for urinary tract health. Prescription Diet d/d Uses Novel Proteins, which are proteins not normally used in pet food, for dogs and cats who have food allergies to specific proteins. Prescription Diet g/d Our Geriatric diet. Many dogs and cats develop kidney insufficiencies as they mature. This diet restricts proteins, phosphorous and sodium while increasing B vitamins to reduce the kidney's workload. Prescription Diet h/d The Heart diet has reduced levels of sodium, chloride, protein, and phosphorous to support dogs and cats with heart disease. Prescription Diet i/d Most of our clients are familiar with this Intestinal diet. We use this highly digestible diet in both dogs and cats for many gastrointestinal problems including diarrhea and pancreatitis. Prescription Diet k/d Another Kidney diet. This diet is much more restrictive than g/d and is used primarily for dogs and cats suffering from kidney failure. Prescription Diet L/d Our Liver diet reduces the liver's workload in dogs and cats by maintaining proper ratios of amino acids, vitamins and electrolytes. Prescription Diet n/d For dogs only, our new Cancer diet isn't designed to cure the cancer but to reverse the metabolic abnormalities which occur in dogs with cancer. Hill's researched this diet for 14 years and found that, very basically, tumors prefer carbohydrates for energy and by reducing the carbohydrates in the food and increasing the fat for energy, you feed the dog and starve the tumor. This diet has been shown to increase survival time and improves the quality of life for dogs with cancer. Prescription Diet r/d If you have an overweight pet, this is the diet for her. This fat restricted, high fiber diet is usually used in conjunction with a weight loss program. Prescription Diet s/d The Struvite diet. When the urine pH becomes too alkaline, crystals can form. Struvites are common crystals found in dog and cat urinary tracts. The crystals can become life-threatening in male cats by blocking the outflow of urine. This diet can only be used temporarily and is used for acidifying the urine and dissolving the crystals. Prescription Diet t/d Probably the best pet food ever made. Our Tartar diet has a specially designed fiber matrix which flosses the dog and cat's teeth when the teeth embed into the kibble reducing the amount of bacteria and tartar buildup on the teeth. This is an adult maintenance diet and can be fed to most healthy adult pets. It is also a high fiber diet which has many benefits as well; the pet feels fuller allowing for weight loss if needed and creates smaller stools to pick up in the yard to name a few. Prescription Diet u/d For dogs only, this diet is also a Urinary diet. For dogs who require an alkaline urine pH due to crystals and stones that have developed in an acidic pH. Prescription Diet w/d This high fiber diet is used for many different conditions in dogs and cats. Used for weight management, diabetes, colitis, constipation, struvite prevention and more. Prescription Diet z/d Last but not least, our new food allergy diet. This diet is used in dogs and cats with food related problems. Smaller protein chains are used which cannot cause a histamine or allergic response.
