What's the Big Deal? A nutrition update.

As you may have noticed there are some new diets on the shelf this year.  Medi-cal/Royal Canin as changed many of their formulations to accommodate your pet's individual needs.  The canine life-stage diets: Development, Preventive, Dental, and Weight Control/Mature have now been formulated specifically for small breeds and for large breeds.

The small breed diets not only have a smaller kibble designed for small mouths and jaws, but also are formulated to prevent the formation of urinary crystals and stones that small dogs are particularly prone to.

The large breed diets all have a larger kibble design for larger mouths and jaws, have an adjusted caloric count to prevent obesity, and contain EPA/DHA, glucosamine and chondrotin to reduce inflammation of the joints and support joint health in the large dog.

So... what about medium dogs you ask?

Each diet also will continue to carry the formulation that you have all been used to seeing, but they are now calling it the "all dog" formula.

They have also introduced a brand new diet - Weight Control Puppy for all the roly poly pups!
Weight Control/Mature has also been separated into Weight Control and Mature Consult.

So what does this mean to you and your pet?
It means that we can now customise your pet's diet for optimum health.

As you may be finding all these changes a little confusing, please feel free to contact or office and speak to any of the team members to find out which diet is going to be best for your dog's particular needs.
