My approach

I firmly believe that nutrition is the foundation of health. Each plan I design considers not only scientific nutritional needs but also each patient's individual preferences, medical history, and their family's lifestyle.

I work closely with committed guardians who seek the best for their companions, offering education, personalized follow-up, and continuous adjustments to ensure optimal results.

What our clients say

Frequently asked questions

What is personalized natural nutrition?

It's a nutritional approach based on natural foods (meat, organs, bones, vegetables) specifically designed for your pet's individual needs, considering their age, breed, weight, activity level, health conditions, and food preferences.

What does the nutritional plan include?

It includes a personalized recipe with portions, preparation guide, rations, dietary transition, and supplement recommendations when appropriate.

How does the initial assessment process work?

The initial assessment includes a complete veterinary consultation where medical history, current body condition, eating habits are analyzed, and necessary tests are performed. With this information we design a customized nutritional plan.

Do you offer virtual or only in-person consultations?

Most consultations are virtual (online). In very exceptional cases and when geographically close, they may be in-person at Dr. Alvarado's discretion.

Do you only treat digestive problems or also prevention?

We address both cases. We work on prevention through optimal nutrition in healthy pets, as well as therapeutic management of existing conditions (allergies, IBD, pancreatitis, cancer, kidney disease, and other chronic pathologies).

What is a plan "adjustment"?

It's a specific modification to substitute non-tolerated or rejected ingredients (e.g., pork allergy or chicken rejection) while maintaining nutritional balance.

How does WhatsApp or email support work?

It's available for the period indicated in each plan starting from the consultation.

How long does it take to get a response?

Essential Plan and Pathologies Plan: 48–72 business hours. Advanced Plan: 24 business hours.

Do you handle emergencies?

No. For emergencies, visit your in-person veterinary clinic. Online consultations cover nutritional assessment and planned adjustments.

How long does it take to see results?

It depends on the goal and initial condition. Many guardians report improvements in energy and digestion within 2-4 weeks. For chronic conditions or weight changes, the process can take 2-3 months with periodic adjustments.

What's the difference between this service and buying super premium commercial food?

Commercial foods, even super premium ones, are formulated for population averages. Our plans are individualized: we adjust ingredients, proportions, and supplementation according to your pet's unique needs, with continuous veterinary follow-up.

Do you see pets outside of Costa Rica?

Yes. Consultations are 100% online, so we serve pets in any country in Latin America and worldwide. You just need an internet connection for the video call and access to fresh ingredients in your locality.

How do I schedule an online consultation from another country?

The process is the same for all countries: complete the clinical form on our website, make payment in USD, and we'll coordinate the video call at a convenient time for your timezone. The nutritional plan is adapted to ingredients available in your country.
