Pet Nutrition
It is our responsibility to make sure what we choose to feed our pets has the right nutritional combinations. We want to make sure we provide all the necessary vitamins and minerals in a complete and balanced dog and cat food. At Mercury Animal Hospital, Inc., we offer a couple of different premium brand pet food companies that do just that!

Hill’s is dedicated to providing the best nutritional care to your patients with the most complete range of (more than 100 pet foods) diets. They also provide for the veterinarian, the most up-to-date clinical nutrition for the dietary management of healthy, at risk and sick pets.

ROYAL CANIN Veterinary Diets
​
The Royal Canin Veterinary diet range exemplifies a new approach to veterinary nutrition: “Treat the pet, in addition to the disease.” Every diet gives priority to the pet. All the nutrients required to minimize clinical symptoms or to promote recovery are taken into account. Prevention of associated risks, protection against oxidative stress, and the addition of nutraceuticals are considered for each diet. The diets are also exceptionally palatable and are veterinary exclusive. Royal Canin believes that pet health and good nutrition can only be achieved through a combination of innovative diets and professional veterinary counseling.1

You should have your new pet examine by a licensed veterinarian as soon as he/she joins your family. On your first visit, your veterinarian will discuss the vaccinations and vaccination schedule, diet, heartworm and flea/tick prevention, obedience training, housebreaking and microchipping.
Vaccinations are a very important part of your pet’s life. Vaccines help to prevent potentially chronic or deadly illnesses.
