Addressing the Meaty Requirement for Canines!

Pet parents do not want to compromise on their furry baby’s health and wish to give them the best care. Canines need a nutritionally balanced diet to be healthy. A balanced diet must include an equal or balanced amount of proteins, minerals, calcium, fats, and amino acids. Their diet must be a good blend of plant and meat-based ingredients. This is a meaty affair indeed!

Meat provides many health benefits to our furry baby. It can boost their energy, promote muscle and bone health, keeps their coat healthy and their tummies happy! Most importantly, the meat in their diet can boost their immune system. The immune system is a shield against several infections and bacteria. Hence, most veterinarian's recommend consuming food that strengthens their immunity. It’s another way to say thanks to the immunity soldier!

You can enjoy your barbeque night along with your furry companion. But, their meat must not have any of the spices added to your meat. It can simply be grilled or boiled. Meat is a healthy food item for your furry baby, but a diet that solely consists of meat cannot fulfill your canine’s dietary needs. For your doggo to receive the best of all the essential nutrients, their diet must be planned well. Meat must be a part of their meal and not their whole meal.

Commercial dog foods have a balanced source of all the necessary nutrients. Therefore, if your pup is on a commercial food diet you need not worry. Your furry baby is receiving all the nutrients he or she needs. Nonetheless, if your canine is consuming home-cooked or homemade meals, you must prepare a diet chart for him or her. Your veterinarian will guide you to prepare one for your pup based on his or her height, weight, breed, and nutritional requirements.

Cooking meat for your furry baby? Sounds fun! These points might help you.

• Consult your vet before picking the meat (chicken, chicken liver, ground turkey, etc.) for your furry baby
• Consult your vet for the portion of the meat you must include in his or her meal
• Wash the meat thoroughly
• Ensure there are no pieces of bones in the meat
• Use minced meat to avoid choking problems
• Do not add any spices or condiments

Is it necessary to include meat in canine’s diet? This is a question many vegan pet parents have. It is okay not to include meat in their diet, only if they are on a nutritionally balanced vegetarian diet. If your furry one is not receiving sufficient nutrition from a vegetarian diet, there are high chances that he or she may suffer from protein or calcium deficiency.

However, your vet might help you find an appropriate vegan commercial food for your pet. Thanks to the pet brands that have prepared vegan food for dogs. Vegan dog foods are specially formulated to ensure that the pet receives all the necessary nutrients without consuming meat. Your veterinarian will help you determine the portion of their vegan food.

Good and healthy food can make your furry baby happy and keep them healthy. Hence, we can say that the way to your dog’s heart is through his or her stomach!
