Should I talk to my veterinarian before switching to Petaluma?Updated 6 days ago

Petaluma's baked food formulas are designed for healthy adult dogs. Proper nutrition is a pillar of your dog’s health and your veterinarian may have specific suggestions for your dog’s dietary approach. Chronic health conditions, such as kidney disease, bladder stones, and chronic pancreatitis, may require specific nutritional approaches. 

If your dog has a history of medical issues and has been prescribed a diet, it is particularly important to check with your veterinarian to see if one of our formulas is appropriate for your dog. Our formulas are designed for healthy adult dogs and we do not recommend transitioning from a veterinarian-prescribed therapeutic diet without your veterinarian’s approval.

If you'd like to talk it over with your vet, our Nutrition page has the full nutritional analysis for every recipe, with each nutrient listed as fed and on a dry matter basis. Our Research Database collects published studies on plant-based diets for dogs. Veterinarians can also reach our team through the veterinarian section of our Contact page.
