Facts About Pet Nutrition

Because of commercial pet food, many pet owners take for granted that they’ll be able to provide nutritionally balanced diets for their best friend, but here are some facts you may not know about pet nutrition:

  • Your pet’s nutritional needs change with age.
  • Your pet’s nutritional needs change with their activity level.
  • Specially formulated diets can help manage various medical conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, and more.
  • Just like humans, pets have specific caloric requirements and it is very easy to accidentally over or under-feed them.
  • Reading and interpreting pet food labels is actually a very important part of making sure that your pet is eating a nutritionally balanced diet.
