PLEASE NOTE A NEW EDITION OF THE NUTRITION GUIDE HAS BEEN PUBLISHED AND IS AVAILABLE HERE.

Veterinary professionals are often called upon to provide guidance on appropriate nutrition for animals under their care. Since nutrition is the cornerstone of all good veterinary care it should ideally form part of the discussion with every pet owner seeking advice about their pet. As veterinary professionals, our advice to our clients should always be based on sound scientific evidence, whenever available, excellent clinical reasoning and informed risk management. Given the wealth of information available to pet owners, it is the responsibility of veterinary professionals to assist them in making decisions about what to feed their pet. As well as ensuring that minimum nutritional requirements are met, the chosen diet should ideally provide optimal nutrition.

Written by Georgia Woods-Lee and edited by Marge Chandler and Alex J. German.

A free webinar The essential ingredients for a good nutritional recommendation is now available to provide additional support.

This essential reference is aimed at all members of the veterinary team. Presented in an easy-to-read instructional format, this guide provides practical information on pain management for small animals, including cats and dogs, birds, rabbits and exotic pets, with an emphasis on patient welfare and evidence-based medicine.

The early chapters lay the foundations of pain management, including the physiology of pain, acute and chronic pain, pharmacological treatment and physical treatment. The following chapters focus on particular pain scenarios, such as dental pain and cancer pain, using authors’ perspectives and case examples to enhance guidelines.
