How to Feed Your Pet to Avoid Weight Problems: It's Not Just About Portion Size
Dogs and cats are equally prone to obesity, which leads to a whole chain of chronic diseases.
You can save on veterinary expenses if you take a wise approach to feeding your pets.
We will tell you what points you need to pay special attention to so that your pet does not go hungry, but also does not suffer from excess weight.
Diet for pets
1. Food should be selected on the advice of a veterinarian or specialist who will assess the pet’s condition and help create a complete diet.
2. It is important to follow the recommendations of the pet food manufacturer.
A reputable manufacturer provides all the necessary information on the packaging.
3. Although animals are happy with raw meat, fish and offal, they must be cooked.
This will protect your pet from becoming infected with parasites.
4. Eliminate food products that may contain ingredients that are harmful to the digestion of animals, and also give up the habit of feeding animals bones.
5. When calculating the portion size, it is necessary to take into account the age of the animals, their character and activity, their well-being, pregnancy and feeding.
And when giving up dry food or canned food in favor of natural food, do not trust random advice.
To determine the portion size, it is best to consult a veterinarian.
