They assess individual animal needs based on age, breed, health conditions, and activity level to create nutritional plans that support optimal health and well-being. These professionals often work with veterinarians to develop specialized diets for ailments like allergies, obesity, or kidney disease. They can also recommend appropriate commercial or homemade foods, supplements, and feeding strategies to ensure animals receive essential nutrients in proper amounts. Their goal is to promote long-term health and improve the quality of life for animals through proper nutrition.
