The choice of cat food and dog food is very simple

Although dogs have been companions to humans for at least 10,000 to 14,000 years, they are still the closest genetically to wolves—their genetic sequences differ by only 1 to 2 percent.


Like wolves and lions, dogs and cats are opportunistic carnivores whose ideal diet consists almost entirely of meat, with minimal carbohydrates.


1. The most suitable food composition for dogs and cats:


The food composition suitable for the special digestive system of dogs and cats should be high protein and low carbohydrate; it contains ingredients suitable for dogs and cats, and does not contain ingredients that dogs and cats cannot adapt to:


a. Fresh meat rich in protein


b. Less grains


c. Low-carbohydrate


d. Abundant fruits and vegetables


e. Plant preparations that contribute to health: In order to prevent urinary stones in dogs and cats, some high-quality grains will reduce the content of magnesium ions in the formula. Appropriate Omega 3 and Omega 6 are beneficial for fur health, while also boosting immune system health and reducing stress. Vitamins C, E and A, as well as natural antioxidants and biominerals such as lutein and organic selenium, can boost immune system function and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Chicory root (MOS) and yeast (FOS) contribute to a healthy gastrointestinal system and facilitate nutrient absorption. Natural glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate support joint health.


2. Try to choose dog and cat food prepared with natural raw materials


3. Select dog and cat food with different nutritional ratios according to different ages of pets


In its short life course, it, like humans, has to go through all ages. At each age stage, the corresponding food suitable for them should be selected in order to meet the nutritional needs of this stage


Due to the particularity of body shape and bones, large dogs are more likely to cause health concerns than small and medium-sized dogs. Therefore, large dogs need a specially formulated food formula. The high protein ratio can meet the needs of muscle growth, and at the same time, the relatively low fat ratio can control the weight of large dogs, thereby controlling the skeletal problems that large dogs are prone to.


Small dogs generally have more energy needs than larger dogs, and it is best to meet their energy needs by feeding them a more palatable diet without causing excess weight gain. We can clearly see this from the table above, the calorie per kilogram of dog food is much higher than that of large dog food.


Similarly, we can also compare the same brand of puppy formula and adult dog formula, senior dog formula and high sports dog formula, etc., through comparison, we can choose the most suitable dog food.
