Life stage, lifestyle, and
overall condition are the three factors to take into account when deciding
which pet food is right for your pet. Life stage refers to whether your pet is
a puppy or kitten, adult, or senior. Lifestyle refers to how active or inactive
your pet is normally. Condition refers to the pet's overall health and body
weight.
A practical guideline is that
puppies and kittens should be fed three times a day from weaning (3-6 weeks) to
4 months of age. After 4 months, they should be fed twice a day. Most dogs and
cats should continue to be fed twice a day throughout their life, although some
pets do well with one feeding.
The amount to feed depends on the
age, size, and activity level of the dog or cat. Feeding guidelines, which list
the daily recommended portion, are included on all of our packages. Start
feeding with this amount and adjust according to your pet's needs. Remember to
divide the portion accordingly if you feed more than once a day.
Wet food is an excellent treat
that can be fed by it or mixed with dry food. Although our wet dog and cat
foods are nutritionally complete and balanced, it is not necessary to offer wet
food at every feeding. Our dry foods are formulated with high-quality protein
sources such as chicken, lamb, or fish and contain all of the essential
nutrients pets need. The crunchy texture of dry food also promotes healthy
teeth and gums and provides overall good oral hygiene. In addition, our dry dog
foods contain a dental enhancement to help block tartar buildup on teeth during
and after meals.
No. Boredom with food is a human
trait. Dogs and cats are creatures of habit and usually are happy with just one
food. Dogs and cats generally eat to meet their energy or nutritional needs.
They have very short digestive systems, and, if their diet is abruptly or
constantly changed, digestive disturbances can occur. Also, constant changes
can make a pet a finicky eater.
Cats and dogs have different
nutritional requirements and really should not eat each other's food. For
example, cats require a much higher level of taurine in their diet. An
occasional venture into each other's bowls will not be harmful but is not
recommended on a regular basis.
Feed approximately 2-4 small
biscuits per cup of food. Keep in mind that when biscuits are added to the
daily diet, calories are added so you may need to reduce the amount of food you
feed. Check the calorie content of the biscuit, since there is a variance due to
the size and formulation of the biscuit.
Our foods are nutritionally
complete and balanced. Adding vitamins, minerals, or oils can offset the
balance the food provides. One of the benefits of feeding a high-quality
product is that it has been carefully balanced in proper ratios to provide
optimal nutrition ' nothing needs to be added.
