Good health is always related
to a good nutritious diet.
Each pet is unique and depending on the stage of life, activity level, or presence of disease, it may need a specific diet.
Our staff receives constant training in order to provide you with the proper advice regarding
your pet’s nutrition.
These dietary options range from maintenance diets, weight loss diets, puppy and kitten diets, as well as diets specially formulated for those animals that have specific dietary requirements.
Nutrition Advice for Dogs & Cats
A balanced diet is the foundation of a long and healthy life for your pet. At Restelo Vet, our team provides personalised nutritional advice based on your pet’s species, breed, age, weight, and health status. Whether you have a growing puppy, an active adult dog, or a senior cat with kidney problems, we will help you find the right diet.
We stock a range of premium veterinary nutrition brands at our clinic, including prescription diets for animals with specific medical conditions such as kidney disease, food allergies, urinary problems, diabetes, and obesity.
Life Stage Nutrition
Puppies & Kittens — Young animals have very different nutritional needs from adults. They require higher levels of protein, fat, and specific vitamins and minerals to support rapid growth and immune system development. We recommend specially formulated puppy and kitten diets until your pet reaches adulthood.
Adult Pets — Maintenance diets keep your adult pet at an ideal weight and support organ health. We advise on portion sizes and feeding frequency to prevent obesity, which is one of the most common and preventable health problems in pets.
Senior Pets — As pets age, their metabolism slows and they become more susceptible to conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, and cognitive decline. Senior diets are lower in calories but enriched with joint-supporting nutrients and antioxidants.
Weight Management & Prescription Diets
Obesity in pets significantly shortens life expectancy and worsens conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and joint problems. If your vet identifies that your pet is overweight during a consultation, we will design a structured weight loss plan with a suitable diet and realistic targets.
For pets with chronic conditions, prescription diets formulated by veterinary nutritionists can make a significant difference to quality of life and disease management. These diets are available directly from our clinic and require a veterinary prescription.
