The Best Advice Veterinarians Can Provide About Nutrition

Martha Cline, DVM, DACVN, clinical veterinary nutritionist at Red Bank Hospital in New Jersey, explains that some of the best advice veterinarians and veterinary team members can give pet owners is feeding instructions and guidance.

Dr. Cline also encourages veterinary professionals to be specific. Rather than simply telling a client to cut back a little bit on the amount of food they are feeding their pet, Dr. Cline advises veterinarians to get a good diet history and look at where some of the excess calories could be coming from.
