Your pet's health depends on the type of food you
provide. The quantity of food to be given depends
upon age, weight, breed, climate, etc., according
to veterinary doctor K. Jagannath. "It is not necessary
to give non-vegetarian food to dogs, vegetarian food
is as wholesome as non-veg foods".
"Outdoor dogs need more of protein and carbohydrate
than indoor dogs. It is not advisable to specify any
universal food type for pets. Food intake differs
from one dog to another. Do not give spicy or fried
things to your pets. Dogs should be given papaya
which is very good for their digestive system.
Sweet food should be avoided as it will give rise
to worms in their stomach. In the event of illness,
sugar drips can be given," he added.
Protein foods: Meat, groundnut, maize, legumes,
dal, beans, soybeans, etc.
Carbohydrate: All plant foods, oats, barley,
cooked potatoes, carrots, etc.
Fat: Wheat germ, corn oil, etc.
Fiber: Vegetables and fruits.
Minerals: Potassium, sodium, magnesium, iodine,
calcium, phosphorous, magnesium iodine and iron.
Vitamins: Main sources are rice bran, wheat, peas,
beans, peanut, butter.
Water intake: A dog's body consist of 56% of water.
This water can be given in its natural form or along
with food.
Therefore, while planning for your pet's diet, take
care of all the above and make sure your pet gets
a balanced diet.
