Professional Nutritional Counseling For Your Cat in Simi Valley
Cat nutrition is an important thing for all pet owners to understand.
There are many aspects to consider about the necessary dietician needs of your pet.
Should you find yourself questioning your cat’s diet & nutritional health, it is time to consider nutritional counseling.
What is nutritional counseling?
A professional specializing in nutrition will educate & inform cat owners about the importance of a wellbalanced diet.
A balanced and nutrient-rich diet is key in the health of all living things, especially cats.
Cats have special dietary needs as they are obligate carnivores & require meat to sustain a healthy life.
Other needs, such as food allergies & congenital health issues can come into play when planning your cat’s nutrition.
What are nutritional needs of my cat?
Dietary needs are different for every cat and tend to change over its lifetime.
Obligate carnivores lack the needed metabolism to digest vegetables, thus cats cannot be vegetarians.
Cats & kittens require high protein diets with the right balance of amino acids.
Protein should be the main source of calories for cats & can only be found in the tissue of animals.
Cats need a diet with restricted carbs and high meat sourced protein.
Your cat’s food should also contain many vitamins to aid in their health.
Almost all pets, including your cat, need about 25-30 calories per pound per day to maintain a healthy weight.
They should not be gaining weight if a healthy diet is provided.
