As a pet nutrition expert, I recommend a balanced diet tailored to your pet’s species, age, size, and health needs. For dogs and cats, high-quality commercial pet food with protein (e.g., chicken, beef), fats, and essential vitamins is ideal. Check labels for AAFCO approval. Fresh water daily is a must. Treats should be limited to 10% of their diet—opt for healthy options like carrots or plain cooked meat. Avoid toxic foods: chocolate, grapes, onions, and garlic. For special cases (e.g., allergies, obesity), consult a vet for custom plans—grain-free or prescription diets might help. Portion control is key; follow feeding guidelines and adjust based on activity level. If unsure, I can analyze specific pet food brands or ingredients—just let me know! Always prioritize your pet’s well-being with vet check-ins.
