Feeding your dog or cat a high-quality diet seems like an easy task, but it’s more challenging than many pet parents realize. A quick trip through the pet food aisle at your local pet store, big-box retailer, or grocery store presents an overwhelming number of choices. There are different brands, flavors, formulas… And because there are so many options, figuring out which best suits your pet’s needs is tricky. Even after you’ve chosen food for your pet, you still need to determine how much to give them and how often.

Many pet parents also have trouble saying “no” to the sad eyes their pets give them when begging for another treat. Canine and feline obesity are major problems, and many well-meaning animal owners simply don’t know the solution. At Parkview Pet Hospital, we understand and are here to help. Our veterinarians near you provide pet nutrition services in Long Beach and can help you better understand how to meet your pet’s dietary needs.
