Nutritional Counseling at Fifi & Fidos
Nutritional counseling at Fifi & Fidos helps pet owners choose the right diet based on their dog or cat’s age, breed, health conditions, and lifestyle. We offer personalized, one-on-one guidance for issues like allergies, weight management, kidney support, skin and coat problems, and more — with no pressure to buy anything.
How Nutritional Counseling Works
Every pet is different. A one-size-fits-all approach to food simply doesn’t work. When you come in, we’ll look at your pet’s age, size, breed, activity level, current diet, and any health concerns. From there, we help you choose the best food options, determine appropriate feeding amounts, and help you understand what to look for on pet food labels.
Just give us a call to schedule a nutrition assessment for your dog or cat.

Specialized Nutrition Guidance
Cat Nutrition
Cats are obligate carnivores, so they do best on diets that are high in protein and low in carbohydrates. We help cat owners address issues like allergies, food intolerances, hyperparathyroidism, and obesity. Overweight cats face higher risks of arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems, and a shorter lifespan. We’ll work with you to find the right nutritional approach for your cat’s needs.
Puppy and Kitten Nutrition
Growing puppies and kittens need the right balance of nutrients and calories. The ideal diet for a small-breed puppy (like a Maltese) is very different from what a large-breed puppy (like a Rottweiler) requires. We help you choose food that supports healthy growth without putting excess stress on developing bones and joints.
Senior Pet Nutrition
As pets age, their metabolism and activity levels often decrease. Many animals are considered senior once they reach about half their expected lifespan. Adjusting calories and nutrients at this stage can help prevent excess weight and support overall comfort and health.
