Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to learn from Dr. Laura B. Gaylord, DVM, DACVIM (Nutrition) — a leading Veterinary Nutritionist® with over 24 years of clinical experience.
Protein provides essential amino acids that are needed for optimal health. Not all proteins are created equal and insufficient or poor quality protein intake can negatively affect the health of both dogs and cats. In this presentation, we will review the functions of protein and amino acids and their essentiality in the body, cover what minimum vs optimal levels of protein intake are defined as, consequences of deficiency, disease conditions that are impacted directly by protein intake, and controversies centered around protein levels in the diet. Veterinary practitioners should recommend diets that provide optimal protein quality and quantity, and those that are appropriate for the life stage and condition of the pet in order to maximally support health.
