Nutrition

Some pets have specific nutritional needs based on clinically identified issues, and they should eat diets appropriate to their needs under veterinary supervision.

The experts we spoke to don't advise DIY homemade dog food. This is because it can be extremely difficult to put together a balanced, homemade diet for your pet, so it's generally not recommended, unless it's supervised by a vet. Can I my dog have a vegetarian diet? meat of which 14% is freshly prepared. Our is cooked gently to protect its protein, making it more bioavailable to your dog If this is the first time you’re feeding your puppy Canine Choice, it’s easy to switch from their current food over the course of a few days. Start off by replacing 25% of their existing food with this one, then increase the amount of the new food by 25% every other day until they’ve fully made the switch. When your puppy is weaned but under four months old, serve the food four to five times a day by mixing it with lukewarm water in the proportion of one part water to three parts food. Remove any left-over food after a short time. The BVA told us: 'We don't recommend a raw food diet, at least without a vet's guidance. This is for two main reasons: the nutritional deficiencies that often come with feeding raw food (eg low taurine in cats or high vitamin A) and the risks associated with handling raw food – both for the pets and the household.'However, the BVA adds that 'each pet has its own needs, so diet should be adapted to your pet's lifestyle, age, breed and any health conditions. We advise people to speak with their vet when they get a new pet'.
