Proper Nutrition for Pet Wellness

While diet isn't always the first thought that comes to mind when it comes to animal care, it's still an important part of a pet's overall wellness. Here at Suburban Veterinary Clinic, we are offering advice to pet owners on how to provide proper nutrition to their pets.

What Is Pet Nutrition?

Nutrition is the field of science that examines how nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and other substances will affect an organism. Nutrition has an impact on an organism's health, growth, maintenance, and reproduction. Some veterinary experts specialize in pet diet and nutrition in order to promote the health of animals.

Why Pet Nutrition Is Important

Any decent pet owner will want to see her furry loved one live a long, happy, and healthy life. Pet nutrition is one of the many things that a pet owner can focus on in order to accomplish that goal.

Pet nutrition isn't the same as human nutrition. Cats and dogs have their own nutritional needs that must be met when it comes to diet. It's important that pet owners consult a veterinarian or an animal expert who knows about proper pet nutrition and how to achieve it. A qualified pet nutritionist will know what the proper amount of protein, fats, and carbohydrates that are required for a dog, for example. She will also know what the best food size proportion is for different animal breeds. In addition to nutrition, a certified vet should be able to help with pet dental.
