Prescription Veterinary Diets

What is a prescription veterinary diet?  These diets have been specially formulated to help treat or manage a diagnosed condition.  There are a variety of these types of diets and several manufacturers.  SPVC carries both Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets and Hill’s Prescription Diets.  If the situation calls for it we also have the ability to order Royal Canin’s Veterinary Diets.

Veterinary diets can be used in the management of a variety of conditions including renal disease, skin conditions and food hypersensitivities, diabetes, dental health, cardiac health, gastrointestinal conditions, joint conditions, obesity, urinary tract conditions and several others.

There are even prescription treats available so your pet can still get treats even if they have other dietary restrictions.

There are also probiotics available for dogs and cats that can be prescribed if appropriate.

If your dog or cat has been diagnosed with any chronic medical condition and you would like to discuss if any prescription diets might be appropriate for your 

pet, please call our office.
