At Brentwood Veterinary Center, we believe that food is more than fuel—it’s medicine. Our veterinary food therapy services, led by Dr. Fulghum, integrate Eastern and Western principles to support your pet’s health through personalized, therapeutic nutrition.

What is Veterinary Food Therapy?

Veterinary food therapy is a branch of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) that uses whole foods and tailored diets to restore balance, support healing, and prevent illness. Each pet is evaluated as an individual, taking into account their age, breed, personality, health status, and environmental factors.
