Reasons: No Commercial Diet Available

Dudley, Winchester, MA For a particular medical problem a therapeutic pet food may be available, but either the product is not palatable to the patient or it is not acceptable to the owner. Most therapeutic pet foods do not come in a variety of flavors, and the ingredient formulation is fixed.

If the patient does not find the one flavor or formulation palatable, the food may not be consumed in adequate quantities to support body weight and condition. If none of the several available brands of therapeutic foods is palatable to the pet, a homemade diet specially formulated with a nutrient profile for the specific medical condition may be the only alternative.
