Veterinary Formulated Canine Diets

Veterinary formulated, or therapeutic diets, can be a vital part of nutritional management for a variety of health issues in dogs. With an increase in pet food marketing and advertising, especially for “speciality” foods, pet parents and guardians may have varying perceptions about how to select a raw pet food diet and may be unclear about the difference between a veterinary formulated diet and other over the counter foods.

While the most obvious difference is that veterinary formulated diets require approval from a veterinarian, pet parents should be aware of other differences. Veterinary therapeutic diets are formulated to help modify a particular disease process in cats and dogs or help support animals during a specific life stage. For some diseases, nutritional management with veterinary therapeutic foods is critical.
