Beyond the Bowl: Decoding Nutrition for Your Dog and Cat
As pet parents, we all want our furry companions to live long, healthy lives. The foundation of that health starts in their bowl. However, navigating the world of pet nutrition can be overwhelming. Do they need grain-free? What does “human-grade” mean?
Understanding the basics of canine and feline nutrition is crucial for making informed choices.
Cats are Obligate Carnivores
Dogs are Omnivores (with a Carnivorous Bias) While dogs belong to the order Carnivora, thousands of years of domestication have adapted their digestive systems to handle a wider variety of foods, including certain grains and vegetables. However, high-quality animal protein should still be the cornerstone of their diet to support muscle maintenance and energy levels.
Life Stages Matter A playful kitten or a growing puppy has vastly different nutritional requirements than a senior dog taking slow strolls.
