"My baby is so picky! He loves human food!"
I often hear pet owners say that their babies are very picky and don’t like dry pet food, but like to eat pet treats, human food, and even some celebrities’ puppies have reached the point where they don’t eat cakes other than a certain brand. When saying this, pet owners often
Probably the best pet food choice is not finished dry food, it lacks moisture, tastes not as good as human food, and contains more or less food additives and preservatives.
No1, the rationality of food composition
Dogs are omnivores, while cats are carnivores! So don't say that dogs only eat meat by nature, the following two photos of dog and cat teeth comparison can vividly show us this problem!
Pet Teeth
Pet Teeth
You can see that cats have sharp and few teeth, and a healthy adult cat has only 30 teeth, while a healthy adult dog does have 42 teeth.
Omnivorous animals will definitely cause growth retardation if they take in a single nutrient.
Due to the relationship between the teeth, the small dogs will only be swallowed directly because the meat is not removed from the sharp bones, the esophagus is blocked, and the gastrointestinal bleeding is a common disease. In severe cases, small bones are stuck and require surgery.
Plus, more and more pet owners are now learning that the delicacy on your table can poison your puppy.
You can find that puppies that eat human food usually have dry hair, oily skin, and itching easily. This is because of the skin problems caused by the inappropriate ingredients, and even after treatment, they are still prone to recurrence in the future.
No2, the rationality of cooking methods
Choosing the right ingredients does not mean that the food is not dangerous.
Although dogs and cats are domesticated from the wild, after years of domestication, not only are their personalities more docile and obedient, but their flora and digestive power have also changed, making them no longer suitable for raw food, so the cooking method is the second hurdle.
The second reason why table food is not suitable for dogs and cats is additives! The content of additives used in human food to increase the flavor is too high and not suitable for pets, such as salts. These substances are metabolized through the kidneys. Long-term use increases renal metabolism.
Moreover, the flavorful food promotes appetite, and the intake of high-fat and high-fat human food increases, so that the puppies who have had little exercise will gain weight and obesity will appear earlier.
To sum up, the leftovers on your table are obviously not in line with your pet's needs, and qualified high-quality dog and cat food is perfect in this regard.
Is No3 finished food perfect?
Of course, the finished dog and cat food also has its shortcomings, the most obvious of which is the lack of moisture, so that some rumors say that eating dog food and cat food is prone to urinary tract stones, so here is a big fork!
Generally speaking, most cats' urinary tract stones are caused by insufficient water intake and a single diet. Whether they eat cat food or not, they will recur if they do not change their drinking habits.
Homemade exclusive food is the most suitable for dogs and cats. It can avoid the above three problems, but it has extremely high requirements on the owner.
The two tables below can help you choose the plan that suits you
| Benefits table | Freshness | Storage | Nutritional | Palatability | Digestibility |
| Dry Feed | ★★☆ | ★★★ | ★★☆ | ★ | ★★ |

| Dry Feed | ★ | ☆ | ★☆ | ☆ | ★★★ |
| Homemade exclusive meals | ☆ | ★★★ | ★★★ | ☆ | ★ |
| Human Table Food | ★★★ | ☆ | ★☆ | ★★ | ★ |
If you have plenty of time, enough curiosity and patience to learn about pet nutrition, then homemade exclusive meals must be your best choice.
So from now on, if your baby is still so pitifully watching what you want to eat, please consider his health and stick to the principle!
