Though most people who choose to bring home a new pet have prior experience taking care of animals, it’s important to remember that different animals have different needs. A trip to the local vet office should always be the first item on a pet parent’s to-do list as a veterinarian is the best source of information when it comes to developing a high-quality diet for a new pet. Since there are hundreds of cat and dog foods on the market, it helps to have some input from a professional to narrow down the choices. However, the experts at Belpar Pet Care Centre do have some general rules that they often provide to those in need of new pet care tips.

Those currently trying to come up with a feline diet for their furry friend should make dry food the primary source of nutrition. For starters, dry cat food is less expensive and lasts significantly longer than canned. Dry cat food is also better for dental health as it provides a rough surface that helps to reduce plaque and tartar buildup. Though finding the right type of food is important, the experts at Belpar Pet Care Centre note that owners should also set a feeding schedule. A healthy feline diet is one that allows the animal to get the nutrition it needs without causing excessive weight gain. By creating a feeding schedule, owners can monitor their pet’s food intake.

Residents throughout the Massillon, North Canton, and Alliance areas with rescue dogs and puppies should also consider making a feeding schedule to ensure the best possible canine diet. Those who have visited their local vet office and chosen a good dog food should spread meals out over the day. Belpar Pet Care Centre recommends giving puppies the amount of food they can eat in 5-10 minutes. For those between 6-12 weeks, food should be provided 3 times a day. Puppies that are between 12 weeks to 6 months should be fed 2 times a day. Once a dog is 6 months or older, owners can alter the feeding schedule to 1 or 2 times per day. However, Belpar Pet Care Centre strongly encourages owners to reach out to their local vet office as larger breeds may be better off with several smaller meals to avoid gastric dilatation-volvulus or “bloat.”
