Proper nutrition is vital for maintaining your pet's overall health and well-being. Learn about balanced diets and what foods to avoid.
Proper nutrition is vital for maintaining your pet's overall health and well-being. A balanced diet supports a strong immune system, healthy coat, good digestion, and a long, active life.
What a balanced diet looks like
- High-quality protein as the first ingredient
- Healthy fats for energy and skin/coat health
- Complex carbohydrates for sustained energy
- Vitamins, minerals, and fresh water at all times
Foods to avoid
Chocolate, grapes and raisins, onions and garlic, xylitol (found in sugar-free gum), macadamia nuts, and cooked bones can all be dangerous — even in small amounts.
Talk to your veterinarian about the right diet for your pet's age, breed, weight, and activity level.
