What Should We Pay Attention to When Choosing Food?
Our pets need proper nutrition for a healthy and happy life. Therefore, there are some important factors to consider when choosing food. Let’s take a look at these factors together.
Age and size: Your pet’s age and size will affect your food choice. Dogs and cats have different nutritional needs at different ages and different sizes.
For example, a puppy may need more protein and calories than an adult dog. Or our pets over the age of 7 need fewer calories and more protein. Choosing food appropriate for your pet’s age and size will help meet their needs.

Quality Ingredients: It is important to check the ingredients when choosing food. High-quality, highly digestible proteins (for example, chicken, salmon, turkey, or lamb) as well as healthy fats and carbohydrates are important for your pet’s health. In a good food, particular emphasis should be placed on protein sources. Additionally, the food should not contain harmful ingredients such as artificial colors or sweeteners.
Special nutritional needs:: Your pet may have special nutritional needs. In cases such as diabetes, kidney problems or allergies, you may need to choose special food in line with your veterinarian’s recommendations. Your veterinarian can determine your pet’s needs and help you choose the right food.
Brand reliability: There are big differences between food brands. When choosing a brand, it is important to check the reliability of the brand. A reliable brand is expected to use quality proteins, healthy fats and carbohydrates in its ingredients. It is also important to obtain information about the brand’s operation and production standards.
