Before booking a session, take a look at the Services page — there you'll find a full breakdown of what each type of session includes and who it's for, so you can choose the one that fits your animal. Sessions take place by video call or phone, and once they're done, you'll receive written guidelines in PDF form. Once you book your appointment, you'll receive the history form by email. Please fill it out and send it back to me, so our session can be as targeted as possible.

Calculation of energy requirements, assessment of body condition and current food, and time to address your nutrition-related questions. Includes two alternative commercial food options, where feasible. Choose this if your animal is healthy and you'd like an assessment or guidance on their diet.
Book an AppointmentCalculation of energy requirements, setting nutritional goals, assessment of body condition and current food, and time to address your nutrition-related questions, with a recommendation for the most suitable clinical diet or a home-cooked diet plan. Includes two alternative commercial food options, where feasible. Conducted in coordination with your personal veterinarian.
Book an AppointmentFull design of a personalized diet: a 5-day acceptance trial and, once accepted, complete balancing. Includes up to three attempts. If a significant clinical change alters the diet's composition, the plan is redesigned. Add this to Service 1 if you'd like a home-cooked or raw diet instead of a commercial one. I don't personally recommend BARF-type diets, but if your animal is already eating raw, I'm here to help make it complete and balanced.
Book an AppointmentReassessment of how the animal is responding to the plan, with any needed adjustments. Valid within 6 months for healthy animals and within 3 months for animals with medical conditions; after these limits, the session is billed as an initial consultation. For animals that have already had a session and need reassessment or adjustments.
Book an AppointmentSessions every 2 weeks. At the 1st, we set the target weight and a personalized plan; at the following ones, we review progress and adjust the plan. You weigh your animal at home or at its veterinarian and send me the weight 1–2 times a week. Payment in full is made at the 1st session. If more time is needed, we continue with 3 monthly sessions (€95). Choose this if your animal needs to lose weight.
Book an AppointmentVetalthea's nutritional consulting does not replace clinical examination, diagnosis, or treatment by the treating veterinarian, who has examined the animal and monitors its progress. Diagnosis, medical monitoring, and pharmaceutical treatment remain the sole responsibility of the treating veterinarian. Nutritional recommendations are based on the information and test results provided by the caregiver and the veterinarian; the accuracy and completeness of that information are the responsibility of those who provide it. The effectiveness of any nutrition plan depends on the guidelines being followed correctly and consistently by the caregiver. Every animal is different and may respond differently; no specific outcome is guaranteed. In the event of deterioration, an emergency, or any concern about the animal's health, the caregiver should contact the treating veterinarian or an emergency veterinary service immediately. The nutrition plan is designed exclusively for the specific animal, based on its own clinical picture and needs at that particular time. It should not be applied to other animals or shared with others, as inappropriate use may be harmful. Vetalthea is not liable for any damage or loss that may result from incorrect, incomplete, or inconsistent application of the guidelines, or from information that was not disclosed.
