It is said that a cat's health is directly related to the cat's weight. Your cat should actively have his or her weight checked. Just like humans, when your cat is overweight, the chance of disease and illness striking is highly increased. All animals, including humans, have a recommended intake of calories per day. Calories are what the body uses to create energy and are the unit we use to monitor how much we should be eating. In all animals, there are also recommendations of how many calories the animal should eat.
Unfortunately, there is no way to pinpoint this right here for you because all animals that consume calories do so based on their age, size, physical activity and overall type. Here�s a rough example for you: A mid-sized dog should be consuming about 700 calories per day. Talk to your vet about how many calories your pet should be taking in each day. You will be surprised by what it is after you start looking at the packaging and nutrition facts of pet foods. Purchase pet foods that tell you the calorie count as these are often the healthiest options for your pet.
Strive to meet your pet's calorie intake goal. This will allow your pet to get the nutrition that he or she needs and help keep off dangerous excess weight. It is simply a matter of monitoring portion size and food type to reach calorie goals. You can do that!
Thankfully, the combination of a healthy diet and effective exercise is virtually all that is needed to allow your pet to slim down and be all it can be! Dogs, cats, even birds, fish and ferrets all can be helped in this way. The best news is that it doesn�t cost you a small fortune to give your pet the gift of health!
