Leading a healthy lifestyle, eating only the right foods, being active – all this has long become our usual rituals. What about our pets? Do we monitor their diet, activity level and health in the same way?
We will talk about how to take care of those we have tamed in our material.
Take care of proper nutrition
“We are what we eat” – this phrase has long become a common truth for each of us. And the same applies to our furry brethren!
Proper and balanced nutrition, constant access to clean water, natural food without chemical additives – these are the minimum rules that you need to follow if you want to properly care for your pets. And if everything is clear with food and water, then how to choose the right, tasty and healthy food for your furry friend, given that there are a dozen offers on the market?
We recommend paying attention to ready-made diets based on natural ingredients. , which will become a source of useful trace elements for your four-legged friends. And that’s why:
1. The #1 ingredient in every meal is a highly digestible protein—chicken, turkey, beef, or salmon.
As the main building block of muscles, it is necessary for normal growth, good health and balanced functioning of the body of cats and dogs. In addition, natural proteins are important for strengthening the immune system.
2. The composition of the feed includes 100% natural selected vegetables and cereals.
Fiber allows you to maintain the balance of your pet’s digestion and avoid a lot of diseases of the stomach and intestines, helping to remove all excess from the body.
3. Rations are made without the addition of preservatives, flavor enhancers, dyes and soy.
Preservatives are not needed for these feeds, thanks to the use of a special production technology and properly selected sealed packaging, which allows to increase its shelf life.
The high content of protein – a favorite component of pets – and the natural taste of other ingredients eliminate the use of flavor enhancers and food coloring
4. all ingredients are subjected to only physical processing, and the quality requirements of the rations comply with food safety standards for humans.
What does it mean? For example, in the manufacture of dry food, chicken, turkey or salmon are dried, ground and mixed with vegetables and grains in a precisely adjusted proportion. It is this mixture that becomes the basis of a tasty and healthy diet for your beloved pets: croquettes are baked in the oven and covered with a special broth, which not only gives the dry food an even richer taste and aroma, but also increases its shelf life.
Manufacturers approach the production of wet food with the same responsibility: flavored sauce is added to nutritious meat pieces, distributed in sealed bags and sterilized at high temperature. This method allows you to save the maximum benefit of each of the components, and also helps to eliminate the likelihood of harmful bacteria and significantly increase the shelf life of the feed without the use of preservatives.
Change the way you shop everyday
Often your pet’s toys or hygiene products are made from materials with complex chemical compositions. This does not mean that it is necessary to immediately take them away and throw them into the bucket. Just gradually replace them with new, more environmentally friendly and made from natural materials.
In the case of animal hygiene, opt for water-soluble litter, biodegradable poop bags, and other natural hygiene products. This will have a beneficial effect on both your pet and the ecological situation in general.
Get on the green side together
Believe me, your pet will appreciate if you go to the eco-side together. This can turn into an interesting adventure – for you and for your pet.
Do you have such active walks that soon you will be ready to “run a marathon”? Then why not reward your furry athlete with a natural after-walk treat? Are you heading to the farmers’ market to buy something delicious to eat? Don’t forget to take your pet with you for an energetic walk, and at the same time go to the pet store for delicious and natural food or a new toy. But don’t limit yourself to just this: come up with interesting games and quests depending on the nature of your pet and gradually introduce him to a healthy lifestyle.
Remember: we are responsible for those we have tamed. The quality of life of our pets and the state of their health directly depends on the habits of the owners. Come to the eco-side together!
