Nourish Your Beloved Pet

Comprehensive nutrition guide for cats and dogs – 94 ingredients across 6 categories

Important: This guide helps pet owners understand nutrition when creating recipes. Consult a vet if your pet has health conditions.

⚖ Critical Nutritional Ratios

Key nutrient ratios for managing your pet’s health, especially for chronic conditions

Ideal: 1.2:1 to 1.5:1 (Ca:P)

These minerals work together for strong bones. Proper balance is crucial as they regulate each other’s absorption.

Kidney Disease

Damaged kidneys can’t eliminate excess phosphorus, causing buildup that worsens kidney damage. Low-phosphorus diets slow progression.

Growing Pets

Puppies and kittens need correct ratios for skeletal development. Imbalance can cause bone deformities.

Ideal: 5:1 to 10:1 (O6:O3)

Both are essential but balance matters. Omega-6 promotes inflammation (for healing), omega-3 reduces it.

Inflammatory Conditions

Pets with arthritis, allergies, or IBD benefit from more omega-3s (EPA/DHA from fish oil) to reduce inflammation.

Heart & Brain

Omega-3s support heart health and slow cognitive decline. DHA is vital for brain development in young pets.

Note: Consult your vet before major diet changes, especially for pets with health conditions.
