THERAPEUTIC NUTRITION

Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of lean body mass that occurs unrelated to disease. Targeted nutrition may help delay some changes in body weight and body composition of older pets.

When unexplained weight loss occurs, assess the pet’s diet, energy needs, and appetite. Targeted nutrition can help the pet regain a healthy weight and body condition.

Osteoarthritis is the most common chronic joint disorder in dogs and cats. Nutrition as a part of a multimodal management approach may help improve quality of life for pets with joint disease and may also be beneficial in supporting joint health in well pets.
