Food for thought: Client objections to therapeutic diets

Article

There's no question that therapeutic diets benefit your patients, but they aren't cheap-and many clients are balking at the price.

In this economy, when you recommend a therapeutic diet to a client, you've got to be ready to justify the added expense to the cash-strapped pet owner on the other side ofthe exam table by detailing the ways a special diet will help their pet. Our survey found that many veterinarians are facing more pushback in the recent past when they recommendtherapeutic diets for non-life-threatening conditions.

The good news? When it comes to diets that help manage life-threatening conditions, most pet owners don’t hesitate to comply.
