The ultimate responsibility of pet parents is to ensure that their pets have longest, healthiest lives while ensuring a good quality of life until they finally cross the rainbow bridge. Here are two ways that you could be exerting a negative effect on your pet’s longevity and quality of life:
Giving human food to your dog
Many types of humans foods are just too rich or even toxic to dogs. They have a different process of digestion and metabolism and their body’s enzyme systems are not similar to that of humans.
Being too generous with treats
Even with their small sizes, treats are important sources of calories. Being too generous with treats can increase your pet’s risk to obesity. And take note that treats cannot replace a nutritionally balanced diet and when you give your pet lots of treats, he will lose his appetite for his meal and this can lead to problems down the road.
