Wet food for babies with ponytails

What wet food to choose for kittens or puppies?

An excellent choice for feeding a puppy or kitten is a special wet food (canned food, pates) designed specifically for babies. Why wet?

Wet food:

• as close as possible to the natural food that the wild relatives of our pets eat in nature. Such nutrition meets the deep instincts of dogs and cats, because even the most tame of them are primarily predators;

• are easily absorbed by the body, do not create an additional burden on the digestive tract;

• allow you to maintain the water balance of the body;

• have a high palatability. Canned food smells attractive and asks for it on the tongue. The palatability of wet foods is higher than dry diets;

• do not require preparation;

• contain additives useful for babies: the composition of high-quality wet food is balanced in such a way that a puppy or kitten receives daily exactly as many useful substances as they need for harmonious development at a particular life stage;

• divided into portions. You will always know exactly how much your pet has eaten and will not get confused in the calculations.

But do not rush to run for canned food to the first store you come across. To choose the right food, you need to arm yourself with the right instructions.

• Carefully study the composition: in the first place in the list of ingredients should be meat. Moreover, selected meat, not offal. For example, at Monge Dog Fresh Chunks in Loaf, it’s meatloaf with pieces of veal. You will lick your fingers (that is, paws)!

• Make sure the food is appropriate for your pet’s age. For example, a two-month-old puppy is not recommended to be fed a junior diet, and vice versa.

• Give preference to foods with a single source of protein. Such diets are easier to digest and reduce the risk of an allergic reaction.

• The composition of a complete feed should not include: gluten, vegetable proteins, offal, hydrogenated fats, sugars, preservatives, dyes and GMOs.

• A big advantage will be the presence of fruits, berries and vegetables in the composition. These are natural sources of vitamins and minerals, fiber, antioxidants, beta-carotenes.

• XOS in the composition is another advantage. They support intestinal health and become the basis for the formation of strong immunity.

• Glucosamine in the composition is what you need for growing puppies and kittens. It is this substance that is responsible for the health of the joints.

• The product must comply with EU quality standards and nutritional requirements. For example, all Monge “baby” foods meet the requirements for the production of food for people. By opting for a similar product, you can be sure that your pet is getting the best and healthiest nutrition for him.

When feeding a complete balanced diet, a puppy or kitten does not need additional vitamin and mineral complexes. Everything he needs for proper development is already contained in the feed.

Choosing good food is half the battle. You also need to properly feed your pet. The daily amount of food depends on the size, type and age of the pet. Carefully study the feeding recommendations on the packaging, agree it with your veterinarian and adhere to this norm in the future. Do not change food unnecessarily: this is stressful even for an adult animal, and even more so for a baby.

Life hack: serve your pet food at room temperature or slightly warmed up. This will make the meal more comfortable and facilitate the process of digestion of food. Make sure that clean drinking water is always freely available.

And now it’s time to wish your charming puppies and kittens bon appetit! Let them eat well and grow up happy!
