You want what is best for your pet, and that includes their diet.
Navigating the world of pet food can be overwhelming, with so many options and conflicting information out there. Our team at easyvet Overland Park provides guidance on nutrition so that you feel informed when making nutritional choices for your dog or cat. From day-to-day needs to foods for specific health needs, consult with our veterinary professionals for dietary advice.
How to Decide What Your Pet Should Eat
Choosing the right food for your pet can feel like a daunting task, especially with all the information (and misinformation) available about pet nutrition. Should you choose grain-free, raw, wet, or dry food? What should you do if your pet has a sensitive stomach or food allergies? These are common questions that pet owners face.
At easyvet Overland Park, we take the guesswork out of finding a proper diet for your pet. Our team will work with you to evaluate your pet’s individual nutritional needs based on their breed, age, activity level, and overall health. We can also guide you as your pet’s dietary needs change over time, such as during growth spurts, pregnancy, or as they transition into their senior years. If your pet has potential food allergies or sensitivities, we can help you identify triggers and recommend specialized diets to keep them comfortable.
Do you think that your pet might be obese or underweight?
Maintaining a healthy weight is essential for your pet’s long-term health. Being overweight or underweight can lead to health issues such as joint problems, heart disease, and reduced energy levels. Determining whether your pet is at their ideal weight isn’t always straightforward, which is why professional guidance can make a difference.
Our team can help you assess your pet’s body condition and develop a nutrition plan to meet weight management goals. During a consultation, we will discuss important factors like:
- How often is your pet eating? Are they grazing all day or sticking to a set schedule?
- What types of foods is your companion eating? Is the diet nutritionally balanced for their needs?
- How active is your pet? Does more physical activity need to be incorporated into their routine?
Our veterinarians will give realistic recommendations to help your four-legged friend reach and maintain a healthy weight, improving their quality of life and reducing their risk of health complications.
Access to Specialized Diets for Cats and Dogs
Some pets require prescription diets to manage specific health conditions, such as kidney disease, diabetes, or food allergies. If you are given a prescription from our veterinarians, easyvet Overland Park offers access to a range of specialized diets.
For your convenience, we keep some small bags of prescription food in-house for immediate use. If your pet requires ongoing access to their prescription diet or needs a specific kind of diet we do not carry in-house, we will send you a link to order directly from a trusted supplier.
Our team will make sure you fully understand how the prescription diet benefits your pet and how to incorporate the food into their daily routine.
