It can happen to anyone at any time. You come across a wonderful dog or cat that is looking for a home and gives you that big-eyed look that says, "Pick me." You'll be buying dog food and treats at your local supermarket before you know it. It's simple to fall in love with your pet. Sharing your home with a canine companion can be extremely rewarding. There's no denying that dogs can provide unconditional acceptance and loyalty, as well as constant companionship and stress relief after a long or stressful day. There are a lot of things to consider if you want to keep a cat or dog as a pet. However, the most important of it is the pet's Nutrition. What will you feed it? Would you be able to tell if your cat or puppy needed to lose weight? You might not even realize your cat is overweight because they are so common. However, obese and overweight cats now outnumber healthy-weight cats, and veterinarians are seeing more super-obese dogs and cats. The issue for us is that we like to spoil our cats, and cats like to eat, so it's easy to overfeed them. Cats require more of a variety of essential nutrients, whereas dogs can survive on very little. As a result, cat food contains more protein, fat, minerals, and vitamins. Cat food is also smaller and higher in calories to accommodate their smaller mouths. How much should I give my dog in terms of food? Does the food I'm giving my dog meet his nutritional requirements? As our understanding of the relationship between diet and health advances, and the number of dog foods available grows, it's more important than ever to make feeding decisions based on sound information. Nutrient Requirements of Dogs and Cats is the basis for the information in this book.
