Nutritional Counseling for Every Life Stage

Just as with humans, a pet’s nutritional needs change with age, lifestyle, and based on any medical conditions they may have. Nutrition is a vital component of preventative medicine and can provide therapeutic support to pets. We carry and recommend a variety of high-quality foods from companies that perform extensive nutritional research on their formulas.

We can guide you on diets for every stage of life (puppy/kitten, adult, and senior) as well as diets designed for special health conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, obesity, food allergies, and arthritis. For example, we generally consider a dog to be a senior after age 7, and their unique health concerns may require a special diet. We are here to help you choose the best nutritional path for your pet.

Behavior Counseling for a Harmonious Home

Puppy and adult dog training play a key role in helping you raise a well-behaved and socially adjusted canine companion. However, behavior issues are something most pet owners face at one time or another. Sadly, these issues can create frustration that breaks the bond between a pet and their person.

Initially, it’s always important to rule out a medical cause for a behavior, especially if it’s a sudden change. Pets can’t tell you when something is wrong, so the behavior could be a symptom of a health problem. Common issues we can help with include:

• General Behavior Problems: For common challenges, you can find helpful advice on understanding and managing dog behavior.
• Separation Anxiety: This is a common and stressful condition for both pets and owners. We can help you identify and manage separation anxiety.
• Noise Phobias: Fear of loud noises is very common. We can provide strategies for coping with fireworks anxiety and help you prepare for storm anxiety.
