The cheap dog or cat food may not be adequate to provide your pet with the essential vitamins and nutrients that they need.\n <br></br>\n This article will discuss how to pick the right food for your pet, as well as how the right food can improve your petâs health.

Cats and dogs have different health needs and require varying amounts of vitamins and nutrients for different stages of their life. Food labels should specify the species and life stage that the diet is formulated for. Some diets are even developed for specific health needs, such as weight management and urinary tract health.<br></br>\n To guide you in making appropriate choices for your pet, the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) re

This group provides standards for nutritional requirements and ingredients in pet food. There is no standardized regulation of pet food products, but many international companies use the AAFCO standards to formulate their diets. These companies will include an AAFCO approved label on their product. The United Kingdom has a similar system for nutritional guidelines known as the European Pet Food Federation (FEDIAF). You can look for a nutrition adequacy statement citing FEDIAF guidelines as well.<br></br>\n If no nutrition adequacy statement is given, take a closer look at the ingredient list and who formulated the diet. Pet food companies should employ certified veterinary nutritionists to develop their diets.

Around the world, they have become popular amongst pet owners. But, you might not want to jump on the bandwagon just yet. Veterinarians have raised concerns about how these trendy diets may be impacting pet health.<br></br>\n In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has started investigating the relationship between specific diets and an increased number of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) cases in dogs. The majority of the diets under investigation are marketed as grain-free. Research has not supported any health benefits of grain-free diets over more traditional diets. While more research needs to be done to understand the link between grain-free diets and DCM, grain-free diets may not be worth the risk.<br></br>\n \xa0Raw meat diets have been around for a long time, but they are once again becoming a popular choice. Contrary to the beliefs of many cat and dog owners, research has not found any health benefits associated with feeding raw meat diets. The studies have actually shown significant health risks associated with these diets. Consuming raw meat can increase your petâs risk of getting sick from bacteria such as\xa0Salmonella.

For example, diets too high in protein are difficult for the body to process and can lead to kidney and liver damage."},{title:"How to safely change your petâs diet",desc:"Any changes to your petâs diet should be done gradually. Always check with your veterinarian before making any changes. Once you have selected the new diet, you will start incorporating a small amount of the new food into your petâs current diet. The total transition should take approximately two weeks. Below is an example of how to make the transition.<br></br>\n <p><strong>Day 1</strong>: 25% new diet, 75% old diet</p>\n <p><strong>Day 5</strong>: 50% new diet, 50% old diet</p>\n <p><strong>Day 9</strong>: 75% new diet, 25% old diet</p>\n <p><strong>Day 14</strong>: 100% new diet</p>"},{title:"How to monitor your petâs health while changing food",desc:"When changing diets, one of the most important things to look for are signs of digestive upset. In dogs and cats, you may notice diarrhea or vomiting. These symptoms can indicate that you are transitioning your pet to the new diet too quickly and should slow down. In some cases, the new diet may not be the best choice for your pet. If the discomfort continues, stop feeding the new diet and consult with your veterinarian to determine your next steps.<br></br>\n Signs that the new diet is improving your petâs health include an increase in energy levels and the ability to maintain a healthy weight. Pet activity monitors are a great way to monitor and compare your petâs activity over time. These wearable devices use apps to track other health parameters, including vital signs and weight. Using these devices can provide you with a wealth of information about your petâs overall wellbeing. When making changes to improve your petâs diet, these devices can provide you with important data to show you how your petâs health is impacted by proper nutrition."}],summary:"Pet nutrition can be very complicated. However, having a general understanding of proper diets is essential for your petâs health. The cheap or trendy option is not always what is in the best interest of your pet.

Through careful pre-planning and home set-up, along with a monitored introduction, the chances of your separate species pets getting along will be much more likely! <br></br>\n People sometimes compare the event of adding a second pet to the household, as having a second child, and trust us, itâs not too far off! In this instance, where the cat had full reign of the house before, they will have become used to being âthe only childâ. Itâs not just about introducing a new species to the house; a new cat, or even human, would elicit similar adverse reactions if not done carefully. From the original catâs perspective, the safety of their home is suddenly being compromised by a new resident, and the attention from their owners has suddenly been shared. "},{category:"PREPARATION",title:"Scent familiarity",desc:"The first step of a responsible introduction starts before the two animals physically meet. Scent is an incredibly important tool for communication for both cats and dogs, so they must have the opportunity to smell each other first. This can be done through many ways, for example swapping their bedding around a couple of times (cat gets dogâs blankets and vice versa) or allowing them to sniff each other through closed doors for a few days.

It should also have an extra litter box in one corner, and food and water in another, plus a comfortable sleeping area. This is to give the cat an area all to themselves to run to and chill out in, should they not feel confident enough yet to share a larger space with the dog. Many people use baby gates on door frames or corridors, leaving enough space below for the cat to crawl through should they want to get away from the dog. These can easily be installed by simply twisting the ends to create pressure, avoiding the need for drilling or other permanent solutions."},{title:"Cat superhighways",desc:"There are, however, great benefits to installing what the famed cat - whisperer, Jackson Galaxy, calls âcat superhighwaysâ. Despite the exciting name, they are merely shelves and ledges placed around your home to create a multi - level environment for them, and to tap into their tree - climbing instincts. Indeed, these are more of a permanent solution, but theyâre not just for new pet introductions as they can overall make your cat feel more calm, confident and happy."},{title:"Relaxing pheromones",desc:"As an extra added precaution, you could also plug in a Feliway diffuser a few days before the animals meet.

5,{title:"INTRODUCTION",desc:"The big day has finally arrived, and most likely youâre feeling a little bit nervous. The best way to calm yourself down is to remember that youâve done everything you can to ensure a successful meeting, by following the recommended preparation above. "},{title:"Escape routes and leashing",desc:"The best room or space to introduce them will depend on the design of your home, but the important thing to keep in mind is that the cat has a direct and easy route to their safe space. The dog should be kept on a leash at all times - this is crucial because even if the dog just wants to play, the cat will most likely read it as a sign of attack. This is helpful as well for later training, as any habit of chasing will be hard to lose. As itâs generally easier to lead a dog to a chosen location, itâs best to wait for the cat to be comfortably hanging out(and not currently eating or sleeping) before bringing the dog to them. "},{title:"Body language",desc:"Once both animals are in the same space, you must monitor their body language. The cat will generally want to take things much slower, carefully observing the dog before even considering to approach. If you notice any low growling or hissing from the cat, standing hairs on the back and tail, or even the lifting of their front paws with claws out, the pair should be separated and re - introduced again later on, or the following day. Similarly with the dog, if they start showing any signs of over - excitement, or aggression, such as barking, snarling, lunging, etc, they should be separated. Looking at the cat is absolutely fine, but if you feel like theyâre staring for longer than usual, they could be preparing to lunge, so a simple snap of the fingers can be used to distract them. "},{title:"Patience",desc:"The key with introductions is patience. Sure, you probably have wonderful images in your mind of your dog and cat curled up together, but trust us when we say that the majority of cat and dog issues within households stem from rushed introductions. These initial meetings should be kept short, ideally finishing before you see any negative signs between them. By persistently continuing this a few times a day for the first week, and increasing the frequency and length with each meeting, your pets will become accustomed to each other and understand each otherâs boundaries. "},{category:"SUPERVISION",title:"Progress",desc:"So, youâve spent the last few weeks slowly introducing your pets to each other, and theyâre now either happily interacting, or mostly ignoring each other. These are both great signs and imply that theyâve become familiar with each other. Keep providing treats to both pets every time they exhibit favourable behaviour and donât leave them unsupervised until you are completely happy with how they interact. "},{title:"Feeding and stimulation",desc:"While they might never become the best friends you had in your mind, most cats and dogs will eventually tolerate each other and learn how to share their space. To ensure ongoing respect between them, itâs advised to feed them in different areas as most dogs will always prefer cat food. Furthermore, a stimulated pet is a happy pet, and the more distracted they are with their own toys and games, the less theyâll be bothered by each other. "},{title:"Keep both indoors",desc:"Please keep in mind that this guide is only relevant for pets when they are together inside the home. Both animals will act differently outdoors, and some breeds, particularly greyhounds or other sighthounds, should never be allowed unleashed outside at the same time as a cat. These breeds have a natural instinct to chase small fluffy creatures that they see in the distance, and sadly no amount of training can necessarily remove this. Monitor their behaviour outdoors and proceed very carefully. "},{title:"Trainer or behaviourist",desc:"Unfortunately, there are some rare cases where it seems like youâve tried everything and they still arenât clicking. Remember, it takes time, and can take anywhere from 6 months to a year! If you feel like itâs too much for you to handle or that one of the animalsâ lives might be in danger, please contact a trainer or behaviourist.

Learn more about your petâs behaviour, personality and motivations while having fun together. Adding a few simple c
5ommands to your dog\'s repertoire is a great way to strengthen your bond, and you can also show off some great tricks in front of your friends and family as an added bonus. Proper training allows your pets to thrive. Keep your dog happy, obedient, mentally active, and safe - while providing you both with lots of fun.<br></br>\n If you want to teach your dog something new and do so efficiently, your reward game has to be on point. The first step is making training worth your petâs while with great prizes. If you work with treats that donât generate enough excitement, your dog will not be interested in the behaviours you want to teach. Positive reinforcement is key; try to find something that your dog really likes and youâll be off to a great start. With the right prize selected, you now need to associate the reward with an affirming word. This allows your dog to know which behaviours result in rewards. When the dog does what you want, always let them know they have succeeded; say the word and give the reward. We like to say "good" first and then give the treat. Give a reward every time your dog follows your commands until the behaviour has been learned and reinforced. Once the behaviour is well learned, begin to reward variably, slowly reducing the frequency of prizes, so that the behaviour becomes stronger, more enduring, and treats are no longer required.'},{category:"Here are five basic tricks you can teach your dog to get started:",title:"Sit",desc:'Teaching a dog to sit may sound easy, and a lot of people get some results with little effort. But in the majority of cases, the behaviour is broken at the slightest distraction or the dog gets up right away. The goal is to teach your dog to sit on command and to wait for your signal to get up, even when there are distractions.<br></br>\n To achieve this goal, gently lift a treat above your dog\'s head and hold it there. When the dog raises its head to reach the treat, it will lower its back legs. Say "sit" as soon as you see the dog begin to lower its rear toward the ground. Once your dog is sitting you can reward it with the treat. Now itâs time to teach your dog that he has to stay still until you give him your release order. Use. âgoâ or âupâ to release your pet from the sit position.'},{title:"Shake or paw",desc:"Your dog will instinctively paw at you if they want something. While this behaviour is something they do naturally, getting your pet to give their paw on command takes some practice. To start, get a treat, place it in the middle of your hand, and make a fist so the dog can't get to it. Move your fist under your dogâs nose so they notice the treat, and give the command âshakeâ or âpawâ. Your dog will sniff around and, when that doesn't work, she or he will begin to paw at your hand to reach the treat. Wait for your dog to start digging in your hand for the treat. When they do, open your hand and let your dog have the treat. Always wait until your pet tries to open your hand before giving the reward."},{title:"Come",desc:"One of the most important orders you can teach your dog to come when called. Teaching your dog to return to your side on command allows you to release your dog with the assurance that they wonât escape or cause an accident, and lets your dog enjoy greater freedom. For the command, you need something that the dog can easily recognize even with distractions around. You can say their name followed by the order to come to get their attention before giving a command. You should start with very short distances, even with the dog next to you or on a leash in a place with little distractions, and simply tell them the order and give the dog a treat after approaching. This way the dog learns that when you say those words they receive a prize. From there you can increase the distance slowly, take the leash off, or try at busier places with lots of distractions, making sure you do it progressively and that your dog is always safe."},{title:"Take a bow",desc:"To take a bow, your dog leans down, bending the front legs until the chest touches the ground while the rear end stays up. The key is to try to get your dog standing up first. The easiest way to get your dog to stand up when they're sitting is just to walk towards them. Once your pet is in the standing position, get down next to it and put one arm under its belly. Next show your dog the treat, move it close to the floor and try to guide them into the bow position. Your dog will follow the treat down, but their back legs will remain standing thanks to the support of your arm. After your dog gets accustomed to bowing, you can start moving your arm away from their belly, giving a little tap if you notice the back legs bending. The next step is getting in front of your dog, because you donât want to stay down on your dogâs level every time you execute this trick. Now repeat the same steps standing in front of your dog while encouraging them to follow the treat and guide them into the bow position."},{title:"Drop it",desc:"More important and challenging than teaching your dog to bring a ball or another object to you is teaching them not to bring anything at all. Using this order you can help keep your dog safe, preventing your dog from putting objects or substances that could harm them into his mouth. Grab a treat in each of your hands and present one of them to your dog with a closed fist as you say the order âdrop it.â Let your dog approach your hand, lick it, or nibble it, and ignore this behaviour until he loses interest completely. The idea is to teach him that if he ignores an object he will achieve something better, so give him the treat from your other hand when this happens. Repeat the exercise until it moves away from the first hand when you say the command.<br></br>\n Once your dog reacts to these basic commands, you can take simple tricks and add a little complexity. âSitâ could become âsit prettyâ - when a dog starts in a sit and then raises his front legs up so he is sitting on just his back legs - or âstayâ and âwait.â You can use these five tricks as a foundation to train your dog, teach them many more skills, and get to know y
