Proactive Nutrition

Today there are many dog breeds known to be “at risk” for chronic disease states such as overweight/obese, developmental orthopedic disease, canine atopic disease, and chronic enteropathy. Understanding the role of specific nutrients and/or dietary factors in the etiopathology of these diseases allows the practitioner to prescribe appropriate diets to best manage these “at risk” canine patients. In this nutritionist’s clinical experience, earliest nutritional interventions using what is termed “proactive nutrition” can prevent these chronic disease states. Using proactive nutrition is rewarding and is often less expensive then long term conventional or integrative medical management of a patient with these types of chronic diseases. Cases examples will be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

  •     Recognize the known dog breeds “at risk” for overweight/obese, developmental orthopedic disease (DOD), canine atopic disease (CAD), and chronic enteropathies (CE)
  •     Understand the role of specific nutrients and/or dietary factors in the etiopathology of these chronic disease states
  •     Learn how to use appropriate diets proactively to prevent and/or best manage the “at risk” canine patient
