Nutrition
Nutrition is an essential building block in your pet’s health. Selecting the right food can seem daunting, but just follow these simple steps, and you can be a nutritional advocate for your furry friend!
- Read the label – Look for an AAFCO statement to confirm it is a balanced diet, check the ingredients for quality ingredients and no dyes.
- Choose a food based on species (Dog or Cat), age, and condition (Spayed/neutered vs intact). These attributes change the nutritional requirements of each individual.
- Follow feeding instructions – Pet owners should remember that feeding directions are guidelines that may need revising based on a particular animal’s activities and condition. If an animal is gaining or losing weight, it is either getting too much or too little food, and its intake should be adjusted accordingly.
