Proper nutrition is just as important for your pet’s good health as it is for yours. The Clinical Nutrition Service at GVS enhances your pet’s prognosis by improving the animal’s wellness diet, designing nutritional programs for specific disease conditions, shortening hospitalization and speeding recovery from surgery and illness. If your pet is hospitalized, the attending doctor may consult with our veterinary nutritionist. You may also make an appointment with Dr. Wynn directly any time you need nutritional counseling. By developing feeding plans customized for individual needs, our nutritionist Dr. Susan Wynn plays a vital role in supporting your pet’s recovery.
