Therapeutic / veterinary prescription diets — WSAVA nutritional-care guidance (vet-directed)
Source: WSAVA Global Nutrition Guidelines (current v2, published 2025; WSAVA_GuideNutrition_v2_260223.pdf, WSAVA Global Nutrition Committee), retrieved 2026-07-29. This is the WSAVA guidance layer of stage-16 P2 ("处方粮目录 + WSAVA"). Therapeutic / veterinary "prescription" diets are a clinical-nutrition intervention; WSAVA frames nutritional care — including therapeutic diets — as a function of the veterinary healthcare team, directed by the veterinarian.
> Scope note: The roadmap explicitly excludes brand SKU catalogs ("品牌官网 SKU 大目录 反爬重+不可校验；处方粮方向只做 WSAVA/AAHA 指南层"). This topic therefore provides the *guidance/regulatory-framing* layer, not a product catalog. > Regulatory status (context, not a C1 claim): In major markets (US/EU), veterinary/"prescription" diets are marketed as pet food (feed), not as FDA/EMA-approved medicines; they are typically distributed through veterinary channels. Specific statutory wording varies by jurisdiction and should be confirmed against the local feed-law text — flagged needs_review for the regulatory-status sentence.
