title: Using a diet history to improve adherence to dietary recommendations.
abstract: Proper dietary management is essential to pet health, yet changing pet owners' feeding practices is often difficult. Taking a diet history provides an opportunity to open a dialogue about animals' dietary needs as well as invaluable information that will aid in tailoring specific dietary interventions to the needs and preferences of patients and their caregivers.
