The purchased food ended, the pets became wild with hunger, the friend-veterinarian told how they can be fed
Having decided what to feed the dog or cat, the owner must be true to his choice from beginning to end. There are two options for pets: natural food and dry food. At first it seems that natural nutrition is more profitable, but if you follow all the rules and take care of the health of the pet, the price of dry food and natural food is approximately the same. It is important to know what you can feed a dog and a cat, and what you can not give in any case, even if the pet asks very much.
The discipline of the owner is the key to the health and longevity of the pet. Under no circumstances should you constantly mix dry food and natural food. This applies to feeding from the table and adding meat, cottage cheese, cheese and other products to the feed that the pet refuses to eat. Such feeding leads to health problems. Life is unpredictable, and there are exceptions to any rule.
Peels It is good if the pet does not have health problems. He can easily eat any dry food that he likes or take his soul over a meat plate, which is prepared by a caring owner. When there are problems, the veterinarian prescribes special feed. It is a balanced diet that supports the health of the pet. There are no alternatives, because it will be very difficult to make such a plate at home. This diet is not permanent, determined by the veterinarian.
Natural feeding is rarely chosen, because food is much more convenient: it is enough to fill the plate with the daily norm of food. And natural feeding is full of rules: there is a list of prohibited products, there are norms by which you need to make a plate: 50-70% of the diet is raw meat, if there are no problems with digestion, sometimes pets are given boiled meat. About 30-40% are dairy products, 10% are vegetables and only 10% are cereals.
Dogs in these proportions can be given meat and offal: ground beef, heart, scar, kidneys, boiled chicken or turkey. Grains: buckwheat, rice, wheat, oatmeal and barley. Dairy products: low-fat cottage cheese, kefir. Greens: dill, parsley, dandelion. Vegetables: carrots, zucchini, pumpkin, celery, cucumber, Bulgarian pepper.
Natural nutrition of a dog or cat takes some time. Everything must be calculated to a gram, so as not to leave half the monthly salary at the veterinarian. But sometimes the rules can be ignored. Delivery of animal feed and human food is difficult due to Russia’s war with Ukraine. The question of survival is an edge, and there can be no balanced diet.
Knowing the principle of feeding natural food, you can feed vegetables, cereals, meat of cats and dogs, if their usual diet is absent. Keep in mind that having clean water for your pet is very important. If a cat can live without food for a week, then without water - only 3 days. Even if it is not possible to make a full plate for a pet, it is important to know about prohibited products, which in any case can not be given.
What can not feed the dog Chocolate, any sweet confectionery and pastries: pancakes, pasta, pies and buns are prohibited. Do not give the dog sausages, pork, food from the table and spoiled food.

The tubular bones in the stomach turn into fragments that could be the last thing a dog ate in its life.
Cats are predators, they also need a sufficient amount of protein in the diet. Do not forget about the physiological characteristics of animals. Sterilized cats are prone to fullness, they can not be overfed. In the diet of the cat should be meat: chicken, turkey, heart, stomach, ground beef, veal, beef. By-products must be boiled.

Vegetables can be given in raw and boiled form: squash, pumpkin, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, spinach. Greens: dill, parsley, lettuce greens, sprouted wheat sprouts.

Peels Editorial Board Any change of power should be as smooth as possible. When transferring a dog or cat from one dry food to another, it is necessary to gradually add a new one to the old food, gradually replacing the old one with it.
