Veterinary Nutrition

We specialize in gastrointestinal and critical care veterinary nutrition, providing the highest level of expertise in these crucial areas.

The Veterinary Nutrition Service at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) and its Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH) is led by a board-certified veterinary nutritionist and a licensed veterinary nurse specializing in nutrition.

Nutrition plays a significant role in the overall health and well-being of dogs and cats. Ensuring that your pet is eating a proper diet can increase their chances of avoiding common diseases and living longer lives. A veterinary nutritionist is a specialist who has training and expertise in advising clients on all aspects of their animal’s nutrition, including metabolism, a balanced diet, and the treatment of nutrition-based health conditions, such as gastrointestinal disorders and food allergies.

If your pet has a specific disease or nutritional need, we will provide expert advice. We aim to consider how nutritional interventions can be used to treat our patients’ conditions before prescribing medications. If we feel that your concern is not within our areas of expertise, we will suggest additional resources or contacts to help you find the approach that best meets the needs of you and your pet.
