Food selected with purpose
ARK treats nutrition as part of whole-pet care. The existing programme blends modern science with Traditional Chinese Medicine food principles, considering growth, immunity, digestion, energy and emotional balance.
TCM recognises five food elements associated with different functional patterns: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Ingredients are chosen according to the individual pattern, while customised formulations follow AAFCO standards.
Assessment beyond a generic diet
ARK may incorporate gut microbiome testing and vitamin or mineral assessment when indicated. This information can help the veterinary team identify nutritional gaps and build more specific recommendations.
Nutrition plans may support weight management, muscle and bone strength, skin allergies, inflammatory bowel conditions, food sensitivities, chronic pancreatitis, liver disorders and supportive care. Changes should be made under veterinary guidance, especially for pets with chronic disease.
