If you want to do a consult, PM me and I'll pass along contact info for ours or you can look her up: Rebecca Remillard Angell Memorial Hospital in Boston....it's MSPCA Homepage and you click on specialty services and choose nutrition.
I only use board certified veterinary nutritionists who have no stake in the supplement market. |
Yes, the pancreatitis attacks are expensive and terrifying, so anything that I can do to avoid one is well worth the price of the consultation. Thanks so much for the contact information for a veterinary nutritionist, I'll definitely get in touch with her to design a diet for both of our dogs.
