Presentation Description / Summary: Effective client communication is integral to the successful implementation of a nutritional plan in companion animal practice. Engaging pet owners in the decision-making process and creating partnerships between the veterinary team and clients may improve several important outcomes of nutrition conversations, including adherence and client satisfaction. This session will discuss shared decision-making in veterinary medicine, with integration of core clinical communication skills, in the context of nutrition-related discussions with clients. The session will cover the existing research and demonstrate the use of shared decision-making approaches, leaving attendees with evidence-based skills they can apply in practice.

Learner Outcomes: TBD

Learning Objectives:

Explain how the shared decision-making model can benefit nutrition conversations by creating partnership between clients and the veterinary team
Recognize opportunities to elicit client preferences and values regarding nutrition for their pet
Describe communication practices and resources that can help promote client engagement in decision-making
