Like most humans, Cats and Dogs are essentially carnivorous and hence require a daily diet of food containing meat; they need a balanced diet based on enzymes, minerals and other nutrients. According to the latest researches, many skin and coat problems are a direct result of a lack of raw animal fat in the diet. Pets need at least 30% raw fat and it should be avoided feeding your pet cooked meat or fat, excess of nutrients is not good for the health of the Pet and ready made dry food or processed food should also be avoided. A balanced combination of raw vegetables and raw meat should make for a perfect meal for your fury friend.

Pets should be fed according to their nutritional needs based on the age, health and activity level and puppies should be fed based on what they can consume in 5 to 10 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day depending on how many weeks old they are. For certain large breed of dogs it is recommended that several smaller meals be fed rather than one large meal.

These tips should be helpful to keep your fury friend fit and happy every day!

Studies suggest that a well cared for dog is a healthy dog. The touch of the human hand helps maintain nearly of the animals key functions: respiratory, circulatory, digestive and so on. A frequently petted puppy is not only healthier and happier, but also better behaved. Dogs, like humans, find comfort in touching another living being, which is another reason why they are known as man’s best friend!
