How to Address a Client’s Nutrition Misperceptions
Dr. Julie Churchill and Dr. Sarah Abood provide the following tips and more on how to respond when a client has found inaccurate nutrition information:
- Applaud the client’s interest in their pet’s nutritional needs and empathize with the difficulty in finding credible sources of information.
- Identify trustworthy nutrition sources to share with clients.
- Emphasize to the client that each pet has individual nutritional needs that may change over time.
- Be a “nutrition-ready, askable” practice.
