Pet Nutrition & Weight Management in Portland, OR
Proper nutrition and healthy weight management play a key role in your pet’s long-term health. At Wildwood Animal Hospital, we offer tailored guidance on pet nutrition & weight management in Portland, OR to help you make informed decisions about your animal companion’s care.
Whether your pet needs a specialized diet, help maintaining a healthy weight, or support in managing a nutrition-related condition, our team can help you navigate food choices, portion sizes, and lifestyle adjustments with clarity and confidence.
Nutrition Planning for Every Stage of Life
A well-balanced diet is the foundation of preventive care. Our team considers your pet’s age, breed, activity level, and medical history when recommending a nutrition plan. Nutritional needs change throughout a pet’s life, so we regularly reassess dietary recommendations to match each life stage.
Puppies and kittens, adult animals, and senior pets all have different dietary requirements. Feeding your pet according to their stage of life supports healthy growth, organ function, and immune response.
We provide nutritional support for a variety of needs, including:
- Growth and development
- Weight maintenance
- Food sensitivities and allergies
- Kidney, liver, or heart conditions
- Diabetes management
- Urinary and digestive health
Addressing Overweight and Underweight Pets
A few pounds of extra weight can place significant stress on your pet’s joints, heart, and internal organs. On the other hand, being underweight may indicate underlying health issues or nutritional deficiencies. With our pet nutrition & weight management in Portland, OR, we’ll determine your pet’s ideal weight range and develop a clear strategy to help reach and maintain it.
Signs that your pet may benefit from a weight consultation:
- Visible weight gain or loss
- Fatigue or decreased activity
- Difficulty climbing stairs or jumping
- Trouble breathing with moderate activity
- Lack of interest in food
- Excessive begging or food-seeking behavior
If you’re unsure whether your pet’s weight is within a healthy range, book appointment for a wellness evaluation and body condition assessment.
Customized Diet and Exercise Plans
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to pet nutrition. That’s why we create personalized feeding and activity plans based on your pet’s current health and lifestyle. Our team helps you understand portion sizes, food ingredients, and feeding frequency. If your pet requires prescription diets or supplements, we’ll explain how and when to use them.
Each plan may include:
- Individualized feeding guidelines
- Recommendations for commercial or prescription diets
- Safe treat and snack limits
- Activity and exercise plans based on mobility and age
- Regular weight check-ins and progress tracking
Ongoing Support and Monitoring
Your pet’s health is always evolving. We provide ongoing support for nutrition and weight goals, including periodic assessments to ensure your pet’s plan remains effective. Adjustments are made based on progress, life stage transitions, or changes in medical condition.
