NAVC Pet Nutrition Coach Certification
Jill Switzer
Nutrition is the cornerstone of patient health and well-being and is good medicine. The entire veterinary healthcare team should be the best source of nutrition information for pets. Clients who understand that preventive care preserves and lengthens their relationship with their pets are more likely to use veterinary services regularly, so team members should focus on proper nutrition for every patient who presents to their practice. Good nutrition is not a fad—it is good business and good medicine.
