Clinical Nutrition Program
Evidence-based therapeutic nutrition for diagnosed medical conditions
Nutrition plays a critical role in managing many chronic diseases. Following a confirmed veterinary diagnosis, Dr. Mohammad Elahi develops an individualized therapeutic nutrition plan that complements your veterinarian's medical treatment and supports your pet's long-term health, recovery, and quality of life.
Important: A confirmed veterinary diagnosis is required before booking this service. This program complements, and does not replace, your veterinarian's medical care.

BEFORE BOOKING, REQUIRED
Medical Notice: This service requires a confirmed veterinary diagnosis before nutritional recommendations can be provided. If your pet has an emergency or requires immediate medical attention, please contact your veterinarian without delay. CANFELA does not provide medical diagnosis, prescriptions, or emergency care.
In chronic disease, nutrition is not optional. It is part of the treatment.
Many chronic diseases in dogs and cats, including kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, and gastrointestinal disorders, have a direct nutritional component. What your pet eats can slow disease progression, reduce symptoms, improve quality of life, and support the effectiveness of medical treatment.
In some conditions, such as chronic kidney disease, appropriate dietary management is one of the most evidence-supported interventions available.
Yet most pet owners are given only a prescription food recommendation, without understanding why specific nutrients matter, how to balance commercial and home-prepared options, or how to adapt the diet as the condition changes.
Clinical nutrition consultation fills that gap, providing a personalized, medically informed nutritional strategy developed in parallel with your veterinarian's care.
How nutrition supports each condition
🩺 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Phosphorus restriction, controlled protein quality, sodium management, and omega-3 supplementation can significantly slow disease progression and reduce uremic symptoms.
🩺 Liver Disease
Controlled protein quantity and quality, copper restriction where needed, antioxidant support, and appropriate energy density to prevent hepatic encephalopathy and muscle wasting.
🩺 Diabetes Mellitus
Consistent carbohydrate intake, optimized fiber content, and calorie regulation to support glycemic control and reduce insulin requirement variability.
🩺 Obesity & Metabolic Syndrome
Precise caloric restriction, lean body mass preservation through adequate protein, and structured feeding schedules for safe, sustainable weight reduction.
🩺 Food Allergies & Intolerances
Novel protein or hydrolyzed protein elimination diets, strict ingredient management, and safe treat strategies to identify and avoid dietary triggers.
🩺 Gastrointestinal Disorders
Highly digestible diets, specific fiber strategies, fat restriction when indicated, and microbiome-supporting nutrition to reduce flare-ups and improve gut function.
🩺 Urinary Disorders
Mineral balance management, urinary pH modification, and hydration strategy to reduce crystal formation, support bladder health, and prevent recurrence.
🩺 Post-Surgical Recovery
Enhanced protein and energy intake to support tissue repair, immune function, and return to healthy body condition during recovery.
If your pet's condition is not listed, we will review your case to determine whether clinical nutritional intervention is appropriate and beneficial.
