Proper diet and nutrition will help reduce the effects of stress on your pet. Good nutrition can bolster your pet's immune system, increase its level of energy, and contribute to a healthy coat of fur or feathers.
Appetite is a hallmark of good health. Pets with robust appetites are full of energy and vitality. They are ready for long walks and other activities. Veterinarians usually ask about your pet’s appetite and your answer assists your vet in diagnosing disease and assessing the health of your pet.
A lack of appetite doesn’t always mean something is wrong. Sometimes it means your pet simply doesn’t like his food. Offering appropriate and tasty food will insure better health and less stress for both you and your pet. Some brands of pet food include fillers or are processed in ways that cause physical stress and health problems for your pet. You can read more about good nutrition under the category headings for your type of pet and always consult your vet about proper nutrition for your individual pet.
Supplements can help boost nutrition if your pet won’t eat what is good for him. Many pet vitamins are available in flavors your pet will find irresistible. Consult with your vet to learn what is best for your pet.
