Diet plays an important role in the health and well-being of pets. When there is something wrong with a pet cat or a dog, the animal’s diet is often considered in order to determine if it’s a major contributory factor to the problem. As puppies and kittens develop from one lifestage to the next, their nutritional needs vary and should be met appropriately on a daily basis. There are many reasons to make a switch in your pet’s diet. These include the following:
- Your pet is carrying excess weight - A pet that is overweight or obese is more prone to developing health issues that are potentially serious and life-threatening. They also have a poor quality of life.
- Your pet is entering his senior years - The nutritional needs of pets differ from t hat of adults and young pets, thus they will benefit from a lifestage-appropriate diet.
- Your pet is suffering from food allergy - Your pet may need to be placed on a special prescription diet where the allergen culprit is not present.
- A pet that frequently suffers from bouts of gassiness and/chronic diarrhea.
- Your pet is suffering from specific health issues.
Be sure to contact with your veterinarian Coppell, TX before making any changes on your pet’s diet.
