Information for Our Clients Who Are Considering Making Their Own Pet Food

With the massive 2007 Menu Foods pet food recall, many pet owners are reconsidering feeding commercially prepared pet foods. As a result, we have received a few requests for coming up with formulas or recipes for some patients.

Formulating a customized diet is a long, complicated process. It should be done by people with advanced training, specifically, nutritionists.

In the state of Minnesota, we are fortunate to have a board certified veterinary nutritionist in our state. There is a nutritionist at the College of Veterinary Medicine on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota. For the best information for a customized diet for your pet, please contact the Small Animal Clinic appointment desk at the College at #(612) 625-1919.

If you have a healthy pet, who is being seen by a veterinarian on a regular basis, and has had routine blood screening evaluations, then maybe more of a "cookie cutter" recipe approach may work for your pet. Following are some links or lists to other resources which may be helpful to you. Westonka Animal Hospital & Laser Surgery Center does not endorse any of these sites. They are only listed here as a convenience to you, that's it.

Sincerely,
Dr Craig Signature
