Ask a Vet Nutritionist

  • Board-Certified Vet Nutritionists are the highest credential in Veterinary Nutrition.

    These are Veterinary Nutritionists who have passed examination by a regulatory board, such as the American College of Veterinary Nutrition (ACVN) or the European College of Veterinary and Comparative Nutrition (ECVCN). These veterinarians have undergone extensive training and education in nutrition after graduating from their veterinary program.

    Contrary to an animal or pet or canine nutritionist (which is not regulated terms), a veterinary nutritionist is a licensed veterinarian who can legally practice veterinary medicine as well as formulate diets and make nutritional recommendations for healthy animasl and animals with health conditions.
