Advanced Small Animal Clinical Nutrition is a three week rotation with an emphasis on small animal nutrition and providing information that will be useful to students going into small animal or mixed animal practice or advanced training such as internships and residencies. The rotation consists of didactic lectures, labs, a field trip to tour a pet food manufacturing plant (COVID currently prevents us from touring plant), journal article reviews and a secret shopper activity in the field to provide students with insight into what their future clients are hearing about pet nutrition. The students will also be provided the tools needed to be able to address a lot of the misperceptions and misinformation clients read about pet nutrition on the internet, through marketing or social media sites. Some of the topics and activities covered during the rotation include corn, by-products and grains, cats and carbohydrates, raw diets, prebiotics and probiotics, the use of nutrition to maintain health and manage diseases, an naso-esophageal tube placement lab, a body condition scoring and muscle condition scoring lab, and pet food wet lab, as well as application of information through case-based learning.
