Nutrition and Diet

Supporting a Healthier, Happier Pet

Your pet’s diet plays a big role in their overall health, from maintaining a healthy weight to supporting energy, mobility, and even skin and coat condition. At Juan de Fuca Veterinary Clinic, we’re here to help you make confident, informed choices about what goes into your pet’s bowl.

Why Nutrition Matters

Every stage of your pet’s life is shaped by what they eat. A balanced, well-suited diet can help:

  • Prevent disease

  • Manage weight

  • Support joint health and mobility

  • Reduce allergies and skin issues

  • Keep coats shiny and soft

  • Promote overall vitality and wellness

We take your pet’s age, breed, activity level, and medical history into account when helping you choose the best nutritional plan—because every pet is unique.

Healthy Weight, Healthy Life

It’s easy to love our pets with treats and extra meals, but excess weight can lead to health problems over time. If your pet could benefit from weight support, we offer customized plans tailored to your pets needs. Many of our staff have taken additional nutrition training and we are here to help.

When Should a Diet Change?

Diet needs shift over time. Your pet may benefit from a change when:

  • Transitioning from puppy/kitten to adult, or adult to senior

  • Facing new health concerns (such as arthritis, allergies, or digestive issues)

  • Managing a specific condition with a prescription diet

We’re here to guide you through every life stage and health need, ensuring your pet’s diet always works for them—not the other way around.

Prescription Diets & Supplements

We carry a wide selection of prescription diets from trusted brands like Royal Canin, Hill’s Prescription Diet, and Rayne, all available through our online store at MyVetStore.

For added support, we also offer skin and coat supplements, and joint care options—perfect for aging pets or those with mobility concerns.
