A balanced diet is not an accident. Healthy pets need the right diet to stay healthy, sick or injured pets need it to heal, young animals need it to grow, and older pets need it to keep their energy. At Charis Vets we offer dietary and nutrition counselling for dogs, cats and other pets in Bahrain.
Specialist veterinary nutrition
Our nutrition service is supported by a veterinarian with a postgraduate specialisation in veterinary clinical nutrition. She designs personalised, natural and balanced diets, both home-cooked and raw, tailored to each pet’s individual needs. You can read about her on our Meet our vets page.

Frequently asked questions
Is a home-cooked or raw diet safe for my pet?
It can be, but it must be properly balanced. Home-made diets without professional guidance often miss important nutrients. Our nutrition service can design a safe plan for your pet.
How quickly should an overweight pet lose weight?
Slowly and steadily. Crash diets can be dangerous, especially for cats. Our vet will set a safe target.
