🐾🍽️ Step-by-Step Guide to Transition Your Pet’s Diet 🐕🐈

Thinking of switching your pet's diet? Follow this easy 7-day transition plan to ensure your furry friend adjusts smoothly! 🚶‍♀️✨

📅 Days 1-2: 25% of the new diet + 75% of the current diet.
📅 Days 3-4: 50% new diet + 50% current diet.
📅 Days 5-6: 75% new diet + 25% current diet.
📅 From day 7 onwards: 100% new diet!

Changing a pet's diet slowly is essential because:

🩺 Avoid Digestive Upset: Pets have sensitive stomachs, and a sudden switch in their food can cause diarrhea, vomiting, or bloating. A gradual transition allows their digestive system to adjust to the new ingredients.

🩺 Reduce Stress: Pets are creatures of habit, and changing their food too quickly can cause unnecessary stress, leading to food refusal or anxiety, especially cats.

🩺 Allergy Detection: Introducing a new diet gradually allows you to monitor for potential allergic reactions, such as itching, redness, or digestive disturbances, before making the full switch.

🩺 Encourage Acceptance: Some pets can be picky eaters. Mixing the new food with their current one can help them get used to the taste and texture without rejecting it.

Understanding the Eating Behavior of Cats 🐱🐱

Cats are fascinating creatures with unique eating behaviors that often puzzle their human companions. Unlike dogs, who may gobble down their meals in seconds, cats tend to be more finicky and have distinct dietary habits. Here’s a closer look at what influences your feline friend’s eating patterns:

🐱 Grazing vs. Scheduled Feeding: Many cats prefer to graze throughout the day rather than consuming their food all at once. This instinctual behavior harks back to their wild ancestors, who would hunt multiple small prey over the course of a day. While some cats thrive on scheduled feeding times, others may benefit from having access to small portions of food throughout the day.

🐱Texture and Temperature Preferences: Cats can be quite particular about the texture and temperature of their food. Some may favor wet food due to its soft texture and strong aroma, while others might prefer the crunch of dry kibble. Additionally, cats often prefer their food to be at room temperature, mimicking the warmth of freshly caught prey.

🐱 Hydration: Cats often have a low thirst drive, which can lead to dehydration if they rely solely on dry food. Incorporating wet food into their diet or ensuring they have access to fresh water at all times can help maintain their hydration levels.

🐱 Social Influences: The social environment can signif**antly impact a cat’s eating behavior. Some cats may feel more comfortable eating alone, in a quiet and safe spot, while others might enjoy the presence of their human companions during mealtime. Stressful situations or changes in the household, such as the arrival of a new pet or moving to a new home, can also affect their appetite.

Understanding these aspects of feline eating behavior can help you provide the best care for your patient. By observing their habits and preferences, you can tailor their diet to meet their needs and ensure they remain happy and healthy.

Cães são considerados animais carnívoros, ou seja, o seu organismo foi feito para receber nutrientes de origem animal.

Com a domesticação os cães desenvolveram a habilidade de digerir pequenas quantidades de carboidratos, ou alimentos de origem vegetal.

Dentro da nutrição nós temos a mínima, que garante ao pet que receba os nutrientes essenciais para o seu organismo funcionar sem se preocupar com a origem, e a ótima, que é aquela que além de garantir esses nutrientes irá proporcionar saúde e longevidade.

É possível atender as necessidades nutricionais através de uma dieta vegetariana, porém não irá respeitar a sua preferência alimentar, e mesmo que contenha os nutrientes essenciais e ser uma dieta completa e balanceada ela não é uma dieta biologicamente apropriada.

Portanto, devemos respeitar os nossos pets. Cães e gatos são carnívoros e não podemos oferecer a eles uma dieta que não respeite isso.

É mais importante oferecer uma dieta que siga as nossas preferências mas não traz nenhum benefício a saúde do nosso pet ou oferecer uma dieta que além de oferecer nutrientes para o seu corpo funcionar irá proporcionar saúde e longevidade?

Quanto custa uma alimentação natural

O custo de uma dieta natural feita em casa irá depender de alguns fatores como:

1. Região e local onde você vive
2. Tipo dos ingredientes utilizados e do volume

Porém, podemos dizer que o custo f**a em torno de uma ração super premium. Claro que devemos levar em consideração o tamanho do pet.

Cães pequenos e gatos ingerem menos alimento, em consequência tem um preço menor, quando comparado aos cães de porte grande e gigante que comem uma quantidade muito maior.

Você deve ver como investimento a saúde do seu pet. A Alimentação Natural tem inúmeros benefícios e está diretamente ligada a longevidade dos pets.

Ou seja, você pode acabar gastando um pouco mais do que se comprasse uma ração. Mas pense que você está evitando problemas de saúde e visitar regulares ao veterinário no futuro.

Se você achar que cozinhar em casa dá muito trabalho e o custo é elevado, tente pesquisar por uma alternativa como empresas especializadas em produzir alimentação natural para pets e que entregam em casa.

Quantidade de Carboidrato na Alimentação Pet

Na verdade cães e gatos não precisam de carboidrato na alimentação.

Se eles não possuem a necessidade de ingerir carboidratos, então porque inserimos eles na sua dieta?

Porque é através deles que se obtêm energia, fibras e proteínas de origem vegetal como no caso do milho e da soja.

O organismo dos cães tem a capacidade de digerir pequenas porções de carboidratos, como aqueles presentes em frutas e verduras. Já os gatos não tem capacidade de digestão, pois são considerados carnívoros estritos, ou seja, se alimentam exclusivamente de carne ou presas inteiras.

Com a domesticação, o carboidrato foi adicionado nos alimentos pet como uma forma barata de energia e de proteína.

Por isso, é importante ter atenção a qualidade e qual alimento você está oferencendo ao seu pet. Um alimento com altos níveis de carboidrato pode causar inflamações crônicas, diabetes, alergias alimentares e obesidade.

Eai, você sabe qual a quantidade exata de carboidrato que tem o alimento que você está oferecendo ao seu pet? Se a resposta é não agende sua consultoria e vamos encontrar juntos o melhor alimento para o seu pet!

Aqui vai algumas dicas básicas para você que quer ou já oferece alimentação natural para o seu pet!

1. Adicione os suplementos antes de servir
2. Ofereça em temperatura ambiente
3. O que sobrar, guarde na geladeira e ofereça na próxima refeição do mesmo dia.

E quantas vezes você precisa dar comida por dia?
Para filhotes irá variar de 2 a 6 refeições, dependendo de quantos meses tem e do seu porte.

Adultos o ideal são 2 refeições sempre em horários fixos para criar um rotina e evitar que ele fique pedindo comida fora dos horários.

Para cães com algum problema de saúde, o veterinário nutricionista irá informar quantas vezes será o ideal, principalmente quando falamos de Diabetes e Obesidade.

Em relação ao jejum intermitente, ele tem muitos benefícios, o principal dele é a ação de detox que tem no corpo, favorecendo a renovação celular e a diminuição das células alteradas.
