Canine Nutritional Management: Effects on Disease Prevention and Wellbeing

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Animals. Nutritional management in the research field of disease prevention and the wellbeing of dogs occupies an important place in veterinary medicine. Many chronic diseases can be successfully treated and prevented through appropriate nutritional approaches and/or nutraceuticals. As veterinary medicine has focused on canine wellbeing and longevity, many research groups have developed new scientific breakthroughs that influence how we approach veterinary medicine and prevention. Chronic diseases such as canine obesity, diabetes mellitus, gastrointestinal diseases, and microbiome dysbiosis are directly influenced by diet and can be successfully prevented and managed through the provision of dietary interventions.

This Special Issue will focus on recent research articles or reviews that investigate novel approaches to canine nutrition and their impact on wellbeing through disease prevention in dogs.

Areas of research can include (but are not limited to) the following: novel dietary management techniques for chronic disease in dogs, the use of nutraceuticals in disease prevention and treatment, and the assessment of wellbeing through dietary interventions.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
