Summer is a great opportunity to check in on your pet’s overall health, including their weight, muscle condition, and digestive wellbeing. Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for pets of all ages. Carrying excess weight can lead to joint problems, reduced energy levels, and increase the risk of conditions like diabetes and heart disease. Conversely, pets that are too thin might be missing out on essential nutrients they need for energy and vitality.
With so many pet food options available, it can be overwhelming to decide what’s best for your furry friend and when to make adjustments. Whether you’re looking to manage your pet’s weight, improve digestion, or simply want advice on the best nutrition plan, expert guidance can make all the difference.
Tips for Managing Your Pet’s Weight and Digestion
- Portion Control: Measure your pet’s food carefully and follow feeding guidelines based on their weight, age, and activity level.
- Watch Treats: Treats should make up no more than 10% of your pet’s daily calorie intake. Opt for healthy, low-calorie options where possible and avoid human food.
- Monitor Body Condition: Keep an eye on your pet’s body shape – use our body condition tool in the app to track any changes.
- Observe Digestion: Abnormal stool consistency, changes in appetite, and vomiting or excessive gas are signs it might be time to talk to a vet.
