CLIENT EXPECTATIONS

At Friendship Nutrition, we feel that in order to have a productive and meaningful relationship, mutual respect and kindness are expected from us and you, our wonderful clients.

Just some quick notes to make the whole process a bit smoother:
- Our primary form of communication is via email so please plan to send emails rather than calling in as our medical staff is not on site. We are not set up to text or fax.
- If you've sent in your Intake Form and haven't heard from our team, feel free to reach out and request an update on where we are in the scheduling process. (Often, vets are faster about their form if you can call and notify them to be on the lookout for the Referral Request from us. We will send them their form directly).
- If you have not received your notes/plan, it is your responsibility to reach out for an update.
- It is your responsibility to reach out to your other vets to make sure we get full medical records and labs for the duration of our partnership (If you get new labs, for example, please make sure to have a copy forwarded to us).
- While it is our pleasure to help you and your pets, we are a support service and operate mainly via teleconsulting, which is not appropriate for urgent concerns. If you have urgent concerns regarding your pet, please reach out to your primary (or referring) veterinarian or an emergency clinic and do not wait for a email/call back.

------------------------------------

Homemade Diets: We are happy to create homemade diet plans for our patients! Although it is common to cook for ourselves, creating balanced, healthy meals for our pets is a different challenge, even more so if you have a pet with special health needs. Did you know that a study examined pet recipes found online and 95% had at least one deficiency of an essential nutrient? Some of these recipes were from reputable sources and in some cases, even other veterinarians. Nutritional deficiencies and excesses may not show obvious clinical signs for months or even years, but can prevent our pets from being in their best health. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to establish a relationship with a veterinary nutritionist if you wish to home cook for your pet. Our Clinical Nutrition team reviews patient records, meets with owners to discuss their pet’s needs, and creates recipes based on health needs and owner/patient preferences. All recipes will be examined for 40+ nutritional components to ensure it meets our recommendations and avoid deficiencies/excesses.
