Nutritional insights into pet diets

Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection on "Nutritional insights into pet diets" in Veterinary Medicine: Research and Reports.

Over the years, the number of food and dietary trends available for pets has drastically increased, alongside an overall increase in the "humanization" of pet food; owners can now choose between raw, organic, gluten free etc more than ever before. With some of these trends being extreme, there is now a need to investigate these new trends and diets for their nutritional value to pets as well as their safety and effect on the animal. This Collection aims to comprehensively present the nutritional impact of these diets and their impact on the pets' behavior and short- or long-term health outcomes.

Journal Editors are seeking original research, and review article submissions on the following topics; however this list is not exhaustive, and contributors are welcome to modify or add a title of their interest.

Nutritional Insights into pet diets:

  • Grain free food trends
  • Vegan/Vegetarian food trends
  • Carnivore diets
  • Nutritional deficiencies in pets
  • Impact of nutrition on pets physical health
  • Impact of nutrition on pets behavior
  • Improving pets oral health with diet
  • Pet weight issues
  • Raw diets
  • Humanization of pet food
  • Personalized pet diets

Please review the journal Aims and Scope and author submission instructions prior to submitting a manuscript. The deadline for submissions is 31 March 2024.

Please submit your manuscript on our website, quoting the promo code LXVBL to indicate that your submission is for consideration in this Article Collection. If you have any questions about this Article Collection, please contact Victoria Ship at [email protected].
