Every Pet, Every Time — Guidelines for Nutritional Assessment

Speaker: Robert Van Delst, DVM, Hill’s Pet Nutrition Canada

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) have created guidelines to provide small animal practices with help in assessing the nutritional needs of dogs and cats and in evaluating how they should be fed. These organizations believe that veterinarians and veterinary teams should incorporate a nutritional assessment and specific dietary recommendation for every pet, every time they visit. In this seminar, Dr. Robert Van Delst will “deconstruct” these guidelines in a way that makes sense for your own practice – helping you to work together with pet owners to assess the nutritional needs of each patient and providing tips that will help you to have meaningful conversations with pet owners regarding some very common concerns.
