Prescription Food for Pets in Mississauga

Proper nutrition is crucial to your pet’s overall health. At the Stanfield Veterinary Hospital, we can provide different varieties of prescription pet foods to help assist with particular medical problems and dietary needs for your pet. If your pet needs a special diet for kidney disease, weight control, allergies, or digestive problems, the team at your local Village Vet veterinary practice can help find the right nutritional solution for you both.

What Is Prescription Pet Food?

Not all pet foods are created equal, and this idea drives prescription pet food, also called veterinary therapeutic diets, to treat or manage certain medical conditions in dogs and sometimes cats. Veterinary nutritionists formulate these diets, available only through a licensed veterinarian. These pet foods differ from standard pet food in that they are created with specific components, nutrients, and formulations to help support pets with chronic health problems.

Prescription diets can be prescribed for common conditions such as:

  • Kidney disease
