Description
Renal disease and obesity are common conditions in companion animal practice, but nutritional management can become particularly challenging when patient needs are complex or competing. This webinar will explore practical, evidence-based approaches to the nutritional management of renal disease and obesity in dogs and cats, including weight management strategies, monitoring and client support. The session will also consider the challenges of managing obesity alongside renal disease, focusing on balancing nutritional priorities, maintaining quality of life and developing realistic, individualised plans that can be successfully implemented in practice.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the key nutritional considerations in the management of renal disease in dogs and cats.
- Identify appropriate nutritional strategies for the safe and effective management of obesity in companion animals.
- Apply practical approaches to assessing, monitoring and adapting nutritional plans according to an individual patient’s needs and response.
- Recognise potential conflicts in nutritional priorities when obesity and renal disease occur concurrently.
- Develop individualised and practical nutritional management plans that balance clinical needs, patient quality of life and owner engagement.
