Pet Nutritional Counseling in Cottage Grove, OR
Support your pet’s health with personalized nutrition guidance tailored to their age, weight, and medical needs.
Helping Your Pet Thrive With the Right Diet
Your pet’s diet is one of the most powerful tools you have to support their lifelong health. Whether you’re raising a puppy, managing a chronic condition, or trying to help your pet lose weight, our team at Forest Valley Veterinary Clinic is here to guide you with personalized, science-based nutritional advice.
There’s a lot of conflicting information out there about what to feed your pet—and not all diets are created equal. We’re here to cut through the confusion and help you make informed choices that match your pet’s unique needs.
Nutrition Matters at Every Life Stage
From energetic puppies and kittens to slow-moving seniors, your pet’s nutritional needs change over time. We’re here to make sure they get the right balance of nutrients, calories, and supplements no matter their age.
We help with:
Puppy and kitten growth diets
Adult maintenance plans
Senior pet nutritional support
Breed-specific dietary considerations
A strong foundation in nutrition can help reduce the risk of disease, improve immune function, and support a longer, more active life.
Weight Management Support
Excess weight is one of the most common health issues we see in dogs and cats—and it’s often overlooked. Obesity can increase your pet’s risk of joint problems, diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.
If your pet is overweight or underweight, we’ll create a practical plan that includes:
- Calorie calculations based on age, breed, and lifestyle
- Portion guidance and feeding schedule recommendations
- Weight loss or gain targets
- Prescription or over-the-counter diet options
- Regular weigh-ins and progress check-ins
We know how hard it can be to say no to those pleading eyes—but we’re here to help you set healthy habits that last.
Nutritional Support for Chronic Conditions
Pets with certain health issues—like kidney disease, food allergies, pancreatitis, or gastrointestinal sensitivity—often benefit from prescription diets. We’ll work with you to identify the best nutritional support for your pet’s condition and explain how different nutrients can help manage their symptoms.
Some of the conditions we support nutritionally include:
- Diabetes
- Urinary issues
- Kidney or liver disease
- Arthritis and mobility concerns
- Food sensitivities or allergies
Feeding Advice You Can Trust
We understand that pet food marketing can be overwhelming. Grain-free? Raw? Limited ingredient? We stay up to date on current veterinary nutrition research so we can give you honest, unbiased advice.
Our goal isn’t to sell you a specific brand—it’s to help you find a diet that’s safe, balanced, and appropriate for your individual pet.
Let’s Talk About What’s in Their Bowl
