Diet plays a critical role in your pet’s overall health. With all the different sources of information out there, all saying different things, it can be difficult to know what to do. The other challenge is that reading the labels doesn’t give you all the information that you need. It doesn’t tell you what percentage of the protein is digestible, or if there are contamination from other protein sources, or whether or not the food is made in Canada.
At Minden Animal Hospital, our goal is for you to have a healthy pet that lives a long life. We truly believe that an excellent diet plays a crucial role in keeping your pet healthy and preventing many issues that could bring your pet to the vet; including dry skin, obesity (leading to diabetes or arthritis), pancreatitis, bladder stones and dental disease to name a few.
If you have questions about what diet is best for your pet, how much you should be feeding them, please book an appointment with one of our registered veterinary technician’s today. We will work with you to figure out a feeding guide, and will do our best to include your pets’ favorite treat in there as well! Visit us today!
