Feeding time

AM I feeding my pet correctly?

This has always been one of the main concerns for owners, who can become confused and overwhelmed with the sheer amount of different options and conflicting advice available today.

A growing trend reported recently shows that vegan and vegetarian pet owners are increasingly trying to change their pets’ diet to plant­based products ­ which can be dangerous for the animals’ health.

Dogs and cats are carnivorous by nature. Experts suggest that dogs must be fed on a predominantly meatbased diet but can live on vegetable ­ based products, while cats are strictly carnivorous and cannot survive without animal­based food, as well as having higher protein requirements than most mammals.

Pet food manufacturers reveal that the ideal menu for dogs consists of 80 per cent meat and 20 per cent fruits and vegetables, while cats need at least 95 per cent meat and 5 per cent fruit and vegetables.

A 2020 Spanish study also revealed that owners who are conscientious about eating healthily themselves are also more likely to feed their pets with higher quality products.
