At Wilder Animal Care, nutrition is a foundation of long term health. We approach diet with care and intention, helping you make thoughtful choices that support your pet’s comfort, energy, and overall well-being.

What is nutrition and diet care?

Nutrition and diet care focuses on supporting your pet’s health through balanced, appropriate food choices. Diet plays a critical role in growth, weight management, digestion, immune function, and disease prevention. The right nutrition plan considers your pet’s age, activity level, medical history, and individual needs rather than relying on one standard approach.

What does nutrition and diet care include?

Nutrition and diet care may include:

• Evaluation of your pet’s current diet

• Guidance on portion size and feeding routines

• Weight management support

• Recommendations for life stage specific nutrition

• Dietary considerations for medical conditions

• Support for food sensitivities or digestive concerns

Each recommendation is designed to fit your pet’s health needs and your daily routine.

How does Wilder approach nutrition and diet?

Our approach is practical, individualized, and collaborative. We take that time to understand what your pet eats, how they respond to their diet, and any concerns you may have. Nutrition recommendations are explained clearly, with an emphasis on realistic and sustainable changes.

We aim to guide rather than prescribe, helping you feel confident in the choices you make for your pet.

What can I expect during a nutrition and diet visit?

A nutrition and diet visit typically includes:

Review of your pet’s current food and feeding schedule
Discussion of lifestyle, activity level, and health goals
Assessment of body condition and weight trends
Guidance on diet options and adjustments
Clear recommendations tailored to your pet

Our goal is to provide clarity without overwhelm.

How often should my pet’s diet be reviewed?

Diet should be reviewed regularly, especially as your pet ages or experiences changes in health, weight, or activity level. Many pets benefit from a nutrition check during annual wellness visits, while others may need more frequent support. We will help determine when adjustments are appropriate.

Does nutrition and diet care involve testing?

Sometimes. In certain situations, we may recommend:

• Bloodwork to evaluate organ function or nutrient balance

• Weight tracking over time

• Additional diagnostics if a medical condition is suspected

Any testing is recommended thoughtfully and discussed in advance.

What makes Wilder’s nutrition care different?

• Individualized guidance based on real life needs

• Clear explanations without rigid rules

• Focus on long term health rather than quick fixes

• Supportive, judgment free conversations

• Nutrition plans that evolve as your pet does

Nutrition care at Wilder is about supporting your pet from the inside out, helping them feel their best at every stage of life.
