Caitlyn

Registered Veterinary Technician

I grew up in London, Ontario where I always had a four-legged friend by my side. My passion and love for animals started at a young age and has only grown ever since. It has always been a goal of mine to have a career where I could work and care for animals. I graduated from the veterinary technician program at St. Clair college and became an RVT in 2020. In my spare time I love to spend time with all of my pets and my family and friends. I look forward to meeting you and giving your fur-babies the best care!

Veterinary Diets vs Store Bought Diets

Exactly why is Vet food so much more money? And why would I spend that when I can get the same food at the grocery store? Am I getting ripped off?! At $60+ a bag, yes, you would think that you might be getting taken to the cleaners on dog or cat food. Let me de-mystify the cost versus quality question. What you might not realize is that there are some very key differences between the food you buy at your veterinarians vs the foods you buy at the grocery or pet stores. We don’t sell theirs, and they CAN’T sell ours for some key reasons. Veterinary food is formulated to treat a specific condition; think of it as medicine. Typically, a veterinarian would need to prescribe this nutrition for the treatment of a specific disease or condition. Hence the brand “Prescription Diet”. Store-bought brands are for wellness and prevention, NOT treatment - this is a very important distinction!
