Nutrition Advice for Healthy Cats & Dogs

Eating healthy is an important part in maintaining and achieving good health. Having the right balance of proteins, amino acids, fats and fibers is essential in proper nutrition and can lead to a longer, healthier life. Did we mention we are talking about your Pet's nutrition? And just like human babies adapt and their nutritional needs change over the course of their lifetime, so do the nutritional needs of your kittens and puppies. Banfield, The Pet Hospital offers a variety of veterinary services along with resources and information regarding the nutrition of your Pet, so you can be sure that your dog or cat is getting the balanced diet that they need for a long and happy life.

Kitten and Puppy Nutrition

Bringing a kitten or puppy into your home can be a joyous and rewarding experience full of new puppy love and snuggles with your new kitten. It can also be a very big responsibility as they require quite a bit of care. One of the most important things to remember when caring for your new Pet is their diet. Over time, cat and dog nutrition needs change, but when they are little it is important to make sure they get the nutrients they need to grow up strong and healthy. For example:

• Kitten nutrition requires more calories and minerals that promote energy and growth.
• Proper puppy nutrition involves a more calorie and protein rich diet that gives them the energy and strength they need.

No matter what type of kitten or puppy you bring home, Banfield is there to help you stay up-to-date on proper Pet nutrition and offers a variety of Pet care services for puppies and kittens of all ages and breeds.

Adult Cat & Dog Nutrition

Over time our Pets become more than just a wagging tail or friendly purr when we come home from a long day. They become members of the family, and as they age, we want to make sure they are well cared for and comfortable so they will live a long and healthy life. An important element in maintaining these healthy lives is proper Pet nutrition. Older cats and dogs have different health care and nutritional needs than they did in their younger days. Older cat nutrition requires less calories and more fiber as they age, in order to prevent future health complications. Older dog nutrition also requires less calories and more fiber to maintain their super tug-of-war and ball-chasing strength. Knowing the right amount of food and what types to feed your Pet is important, and Banfield is here to help. Our local veterinarians have experience in Pet nutrition and want to provide you with the proper health care information so that your Pet can stay a member of the family for a very long time.
