Adverse food reactions: Using diet to your advantage

Most dogs with chronic enteropathy will experience clinical improvement with dietary therapy, but knowing when, why, and how to implement diet as therapy can be challenging.

During this webcast, Dr. Alison Manchester will use both theoretical and case-based approaches to navigate these hurdles to maximize the benefits of diet in chronic enteropathy patients. She will also emphasize communication strategies known to improve client compliance with regard to nutritional therapy, as well as help you learn how to:

  • Recognize chronic GI patients likely to improve with dietary therapy;
  • Gain an understanding of the pathophysiological rationale behind a dedicated feeding trial; and,
  • Review communication strategies that can help optimize outcomes when prescribing diets.
