The proper nutrition for dogs and cats is key to ensuring their health and well-being throughout their lives. It is best to offer a a balanced diet adapted to the species, age, size, activity level and possible pathologies of each pet.
In the case of dogs, the basis is usually a high quality complete feed, with animal protein, digestible carbohydrates and healthy fats. For cats, which are strict carnivores, a diet rich in protein and taurine is essential. For both dogs and cats, fresh water should always be available.
Veterinarians advise against unbalanced homemade food and leftover human food, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies or obesity. There are options for specific diets (for weight control, allergies, renal or digestive health), which should always be supervised in a personalised veterinary consultation.

For more detailed information on animal nutrition you can consult the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA)The international leader in pet food guides.
