Getting your recommendation across: Talking to clients about nutrition

Join us for an informative discussion on nutrition conversations including an open Q&A session.

Nutrition management is one of the most impactful ways to help clients keep their pets healthy and to mitigate disease for years to come. However pet owners don’t always look to the veterinary team as a source of nutritional guidance and information leading to vet teams becoming frustrated. 

Make your team the preferred nutritional resource for your clients  by asking for Dr Julie Chuchill’s advice on those difficult conversations that have you tearing your hair out.

Discover communication tools combined with nutrition knowledge to know how and when to integrate nutrition into the care of patients. Let us show you  ways to ‘talk nutrition to clients who may not want to listen.’
