Nutritional Support for Pets with Cancer: A New Option

In this VetFolio Voice podcast hosted by Dr. Cassi, Dr. Dru Forrester gives an overview of the key features and benefits of a new therapeutic food that provides nutritional support for pets fighting cancer. Their conversation highlights the importance of nutrition for these patients and when/how to make a nutritional recommendation. The good news, says Dr. Forrester, is that the overwhelming majority of pet owners are very interested in nutrition when their cat or dog has cancer and want to hear more about their options. While most pet owners will search online for information and ask for input from a variety of sources, they still highly value the input and guidance from the veterinary healthcare team. Dr. Forrester covers some practical tips for how to engage in a conversation about nutrition for pets with cancer and also how to address misinformation.
