About Us


 

Individualized dietary plans are what we love to do and do it well!

PetDiets.com was established in 2000 by Dr. Rebecca Remillard as the first to provide teleconsulting services in veterinary nutrition directly to owners for their pets and veterinarians for their patients. As of 2024, the business is continuing under new ownership with Dr. Remillard's long time collaborators, Dr. Sarah Abood and Dr. Christine Willis-Mahn.

We are now the largest independent Veterinary Nutrition Service. We have 7 nutritionists, all of whom are veterinarians, each having extensive clinical experience and varying approaches. We offer you the benefit of our independent advice and expertise. Combined, we have 100+ yrs. of clinical practice, research, teaching, industry, and private consulting experiences.


We provide independent nutrition consultations for pets with medical conditions. Customized recipes or homemade recipe assessments for healthy and growing pets are also available through the consultation service.  These services are provided directly to both pet owners and veterinarians using the web. An office visit is not required by us but may be required by your veterinarian. If the pet has a medical condition, a primary care veterinarian must be in the communication loop. We also have an extensive library of diet and nutritional information and an automated homemade recipe module for pet owners.


We provide patient-specific nutritional information that is in the best interest of your pet or patient. Individualized dietary plans is what we love to do and do it well! We draw upon a vast number of food products, supplements, and services for pet owners and veterinarians because we are not beholden, sponsored, or supported by any commercial business, university, or government agency, and do not have any merchandise to sell. We offer you the benefit of our independent advice, clinical experience, and expertise as we marry the science of nutrition with the art of clinical practice.

"Just to let you know Hank is doing INCREDIBLY well on his new diet. He has great energy, sometimes too much. Many people have commented to me that he is "A different dog." So far there has been no diarrhea, or gas, or throwing up." -Joe
