FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VCA Press Release
ORANGE COUNTY, CA. – December 11, 2013 - Premier veterinary hospital,
VCA Mission
Viejo Animal Hospital, is now offering pet nutrition consultations to help
pet owners improve their pet’s health. “Pet nutrition is an important
part of overall wellness and we want to help our clients increase their pet’s
longevity,” says veterinarian and Medical Director Dr. Christine Priest.
With an increasing number of FDA recalls on pet foods and treats, pet owners
are seeking more guidance from their veterinarians regarding the best foods to
feed their pets.
As part of VCA Mission Viejo Animal Hospital’s commitment to their clients’
pets, the veterinary hospital has welcomed Susan Blake Davis, Certified
Clinical Nutritionist to their staff. Because many cats and dogs develop
health conditions requiring a special diet that the veterinarian prescribes,
VCA Mission Viejo is offering pet nutrition services to help pet owners to
better care for the special needs of these pets. While commercially
prepared diets are available, some pet owners may prefer homemade alternatives
as some pets may have more finicky appetites.
Susan Blake Davis, of ‘
Ask Ariel, Your Pet Nutritionist,’ has extensive
experience working with cats and dogs that have food intolerance and allergies
resulting in Inflammatory Bowel Disease and other digestive problems.
Cats and dogs with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) can have vomiting,
diarrhea, weight loss and decreased appetites. “Eliminating potential
food allergens from the diet can make a significant difference in a pet’s
energy and quality of life,” says Davis. Davis works closely with pet
owners to help them find new ways to pamper their cats and dogs with “safe”
healthy foods that help the pets thrive and reduce digestive problems.
Beginning in January 2014, Davis will be available for pet nutrition
consultations at VCA Mission Viejo Animal Hospital. To schedule an appointment,
pet owners are encouraged to contact the hospital directly. VCA Mission
Viejo Animal Hospital is a full service veterinary hospital offering primary
and advanced care veterinary services, as well as boarding, grooming and dental
services. The two veterinarians Dr. Christine Priest and Cheryl Wood,
along with the friendly professional staff, are actively engaged with their
patients, dedicating time and resources to ensure they receive the utmost in
quality pet care.
