Course Focus and Learning Objectives

Malnutrition, cachexia, and frailty are common and unwelcome in canine and feline cancer patients. Appropriate and timely nutritional support can help slow the progression of the changes in appetite, body weight, muscling, activity, attitude, and cognitive function commonly seen in these patients. Feeding guidelines based on nutritional status, diet selection, appropriate supplements, tips, and suggestions to encourage cancer patients to eat are also discussed.

After completion of this course, the student should be able to outline the key nutritional factors for feeding dogs and cats with cancer to potentially extend and improve their quality of life and to educate their owners.
