Ensuring your pet has a well-rounded diet can help keep them healthy and prevent disease before it starts. A high-quality, nutritious pet diet can be challenging to establish, especially with many pet food brands and marketing terminology. However, finding the pet foot that provides well-balanced pet nutrition can help keep your pet healthy. Our veterinarian at Suburban Veterinary Clinic serving Maple Heights, OH, provides multiple pet healthcare services, including nutrition guidance and pet dental care.
Protein
Cats and dogs need food made primarily out of protein to help support their muscles and cell growth and nourish the body. Protein with a balanced amount of amino and fatty acids can help ensure your pet is happy and healthy. Speak with our vet for advice and help you develop a balanced meal plan for your pet.
Fats and Fatty Acids
Fat is needed in a pet diet, so it can be converted to energy and help keep your pet’s skin and fur healthy. In addition, fats and fatty acids help protect and insulate your pet’s organs and can be found in most pet foods that use vegetable, fish, and flaxseed oils.
Water
Your pets must drink plenty of fresh water daily and have access to clean water.
Healthy Portions
Please resist the temptation to overfeed your pets, helping them maintain a healthy weight. Overfeeding your pet can cause them to get overweight, have less energy, and be at greater risk of disease.
