We all know the scenario: you’ve just wrapped up vaccines, discussed flea/tick prevention, gone over lab work, and reviewed the diagnostic plan.” By the time you’re ready to talk about nutrition, the client is halfway out the door.
But nutrition isn’t a side note, it’s one of the most powerful tools we have for prevention, disease management, and improving quality of life. The problem? There just isn’t enough time in the exam room.
That’s where TelmyVet’s Nutrition Telemedicine consult template comes in.
A Ready-to-Go Template Designed for Veterinary Practices
TelmyVet has built a nutrition consult template that makes the process seamless for your team and impactful for your clients. It includes:
- Nutrition Assessment Form: Clients fill this out in advance—covering current diet, supplements, treats, lifestyle, stool quality, and goals. You start the consult with everything you need.
- Body Condition & Muscle Condition Score Guides: Easy-to-use, client-friendly visuals educate your clients
- Educational Materials: Professionally designed handouts explaining label reading, portion control, transitioning diets, and the “why” behind your recommendations.
No scrambling for resources. No reinventing the wheel. Just a structured, professional workflow that reflects the gold standard of care.
Tackling Low Compliance
Here’s the reality: studies show that only about 30–35% of clients fully comply with prescribed therapeutic diets. That means most pets don’t get the full benefit of your medical nutrition recommendations.
Why? Lack of understanding, difficulty transitioning foods, or simply not enough follow-up support.
TelmyVet closes this gap with structured consults, ongoing check-ins, and built-in accountability—making it far more likely that your recommendations actually stick.
Where PetPace Fits In
One of the most powerful parts of TelmyVet’s approach is its integration with PetPace smart collars. With PetPace, you get:
- Objective patient health data: TPR, activity levels, HRV, calorie estimates, Wellness Score, Pain Score and trending data.
- Early alerts: Spot declining activity, poor recovery, disrupted sleep scores and pain/stress before clients notice.
- Better monitoring: Instead of “come back in 3 months,” you can check progress regularly.
This means your nutrition plans are backed by real-time health data.
Why It Benefits Your Team
- Time savings: The intake and resources happen outside the exam room, freeing up your schedule.
- Your team use their expertise: RVTs and veterinarians focus on providing individualized nutrition recommendations to impact patient outcomes.
- Consistency: Every client gets the same structured, evidence-based process.
- Better outcomes: With regular follow-ups and PetPace data, you can catch problems early and adjust plans before they fail.
- Increase revenue: An opportunity to charge for your expertise
Why Clients Appreciate It
Pet owners love that they:
- Get personalized health plans instead of vague instructions.
- Avoid repeat trips to the clinic.
- Have regular touchpoints for questions and accountability.
The Bottom Line
Nutrition is medicine in a bowl—but it needs time and structure to have its full impact. With compliance as low as 1 in 3 patients, the gap is clear.
TelmyVet’s nutrition consult template, combined with PetPace monitoring, helps close that gap.
That means better patient outcomes, stronger client relationships, and a smoother workflow for your team—without the time crunch of the exam room.
