Natural Nutrition
Nutrition Tailored to Your Pet's Needs
What goes in to your cat or dog's body can help determine their overall health and wellness. At Aerowood Animal Hospital, Dr. Marta Nobrega believes natural nutrition can help keep your pet as healthy as possible and can work to avoid many chronic conditions
Additionally, your dog or cat's dietary needs can change drastically depending on their age, breed and health status. Natural nutrition can address specific nutritional needs and can improve overall health and vitality at any stage of life.
Many dogs and cats are plagued with chronic health issues that are hard to manage with conventional medicine alone. Often, a natural diet can optimize your cat or dog's diet in a way that minimizes or even eliminates symptoms.
The Natural Nutrition Process
We’ll start by conducting a thorough physical exam and a health analysis to determine your companion’s current health status. Using that information we will determine how nutritional changes could help to address health concerns and create a plan to improve your pet's overall health.
As part of your pet's dietary plan, Dr. Marta Nobrega may recommend prescription food products, a raw food diet, or additional supplements if she feel these changes will have added benefits for your pet. In some cases, a home-cooked diet is best. Our team will provide all the guidance you need to make your pet's transition to a new way of eating successful for both of you.
Over time, your dog or cat's nutritional needs will change, so it's important to have their requirements reassessed every so often. During your dog or cat's annual examination, we will revisit their nutrition plan to make sure it is still effective.
How Can Natural Nutrition Help My Pet?
Nutritional labels on conventional pet foods can be complicated and confusing to read. Instead, Dr. Nobrega can help pinpoint areas of your pet's health that may be improved with deliberate changes to their diet.

- Manage your pet's allergies
- Control health conditions such as diabetes and joint pain
