Pet Nutrition & Diet Counseling in Jackson, TN
A balanced diet is vital to your pet’s health at every stage of life. At Carlton Animal Clinic, we provide personalized nutrition and diet counseling tailored to your dog or cat’s unique needs — whether managing weight, allergies, life stages, or chronic conditions — to help ensure their lifelong well-being.
We proudly provide veterinary nutritional counseling in Jackson, TN, serving pet owners throughout Madison County, Gibson County, and Crockett County.
Why Pet Nutrition Matters
Your pet’s diet influences more than just their weight — it affects energy levels, immune health, skin and coat quality, digestion, and disease prevention. Just like people, pets require different nutrients at different life stages and in response to changing health needs.
Common issues that can be improved or managed through proper nutrition include:
- Obesity and weight-related concerns
- Allergies and food sensitivities
- Diabetes, kidney disease, or liver conditions
- Digestive problems
- Growth and development in puppies and kittens
- Senior care and mobility support
- Reproductive health and pregnancy nutrition
Without appropriate guidance, it’s easy to choose commercial pet foods that fall short of your pet’s needs — or worse, worsen their health.
