This podcast addresses the obstacles veterinary professionals can face in having conversations about pet nutrition with their clients. We’re talking to Libby Sheridan about the widening impact of pet nutrition, with new products like ProPlan LiveClear helping to preserve the human companion animal bond.

In this, the third in a series, she will also address ways to implement nutritional assessment into routine consults, using “light touch” risk assessment-based techniques.

The veterinary profession is a respected source of pet care information but with so much unreliable or even harmful information online, it is important we have systems in place to take back the conversation.
