Healthy nutrition for dogs and cats

Food should match species, age, size, activity and health. Puppies, senior dogs, neutered cats and pets with chronic disease have different needs.

Weight is a key signal. Tracking portions, treats and body changes helps prevent obesity, a common health risk.

Fresh water must always be available. For cats, fountains, wet food or several water points can improve hydration.

When in doubt, combine daily observation with veterinary advice. Good nutrition supports energy, coat, digestion and quality of life.
