🐶🐱 Pet Food for Common Pets — What They Eat & What They Need

Dogs & Cats

  • Dogs and cats have different nutritional needs — cats especially need more protein and certain nutrients (like taurine, vitamin A, certain fatty acids) that dogs don’t always require. 

  • Dry food (kibble) is convenient, inexpensive, shelf-stable, and helps with dental health. Wet/canned food offers higher moisture (good for hydration) and is often more palatable. 

  • If feeding homemade or raw diets, it must be carefully balanced to ensure all required nutrients are present; otherwise risk of deficiencies or imbalances increases. 

Birds, Small Mammals, Fish, Exotic Pets

  • Different species have different nutritional needs: herbivores (like rabbits) need diets rich in fiber (hay, vegetables), obligate carnivores (cats) need high animal‑protein, omnivores (some dogs) can have mixed diets. 

  • Fish and aquatic pets often need specialized flake or pellet foods designed for their species — diet must be appropriate to their aquatic life and species origin. 

  • Always be careful: feeding diets meant for a different species (e.g. dog food to cats) can lead to serious nutritional deficiencies.

🔍 How to Choose Good Pet Food — What to Look For

  • Check that the food is labeled “complete and balanced” — meaning it claims to meet nutritional standards for that species/ life‑stage. 

  • Look at the first ingredients: quality pet foods list a named animal protein (e.g. “chicken,” “salmon,” “lamb”) first — avoid vague terms like “meat by‑product.” 

  • Avoid foods heavy on fillers, unnecessary preservatives, artificial colors or flavours. These add little nutritional value and may cause health issues over time. 

  • Make sure the food suits your pet’s species, age, size, and life stage — puppies/kittens vs adult vs senior pets need different nutritional balances

  • If giving treats or snacks, ensure they don’t exceed ~10% of daily calorie intake — treats are supplementary, not a replacement for complete food.
