Take Home Message
There are many excellent diets
Not all pets will benefit from a particular diet
You need help from a medical professional
You need to be willing to experiment
You need to “listen” to your pet’s symptoms
Use common sense when making changes
Support the system during changes
Next Month’s Lecture Topic
