So the decision has been made. It’s time to introduce a pet in to the household. It’s an exciting time. A little furry friend like a dog or a cat is so much fun. They’re loving, loyal and hugely entertaining, but they also have basic needs too that owners must be prepared to meet. They’re aren’t just cute bundles of fur. These are animals that need to be looked after properly. They need vaccinations, attention, exercise and the right diet.
When it comes to responsible pet care nutrition is at the heart of it. Some people might just pick up a few tins of food at the supermarket and not think too much about what they feed their animal. However, the reality is that it requires a bit more thought than this. Some animals might be fussy eaters. Others must have special nutritional needs. Owners should consider the age and breed of the animal. A kitten has very different needs than a fully grown cat. A Yorkshire Terrier has a very different diet to Great Dane. There’s no one size fits all approach.
The best place to shop for pet food is at a dedicated pet store. Firstly, they have an incredible selection of both wet and dry food. Some animals prefer one to the other, some like a mix of both. Secondly, new owners can get access to plenty of help and advice. Diet is something that shouldn’t be nearly right. It should be just right. Looking after a pet properly can add years to their lifespan.
