What you feed your pet each day is the single most
important decision you can make regarding his or her
health and well-being. “It has been estimated that
up to 90% of the ailments which plague our canine
and feline companions are diet-related.”
With the proper nutritional building blocks, the
body can make its own repairs when a health problem
arises. Eating a high quality diet is the best
health insurance our pets can have. mercyvet.com Raw meats and fats are far more nutritious than
cooked ones, retaining all the enzymes, vitamins, fatty acids,
and other essential nutrients that are lost when subjected to heat and processing.
Canadian auto insurance companies have different categories that they use to filter their applicants with.

Rotation and Variety
Rotation and variety help prevent food sensitivities and allergies by not
overexposing animals to the same proteins all of the time. A varied diet will
result in a healthier animal who doesn’t suffer a stomach upset from changing foods.
Variety also provides a more complete spectrum of amino acids, essential fats and
trace nutrients. For more information read our helpful handout “Rotation and Variety”
Transitioning
Switching your pet’s food can be an easy and positive experience. Puppies and
kittens are the easiest to transition, as their digestive systems are more adaptable.
To start your puppy or kitten off right, introduce lots of different kinds, flavors,
and textures of food at an early age. Older pets, especially those who have been on
the same food for an extended period of time, may need a little more time to adjust
to their new food. Make a gradual switch to a new food by starting with 10-20%
new food and increasing the amount over the course of four to seven days.
Digestive aids such as our own Good Digestion or probiotics like acidophilus can
help aid in the digestion of new foods, as well. After a few months of switching
gradually, your pet’s digestive system will toughen up and you will be able to decrease
or even eliminate the transition period altogether.

As carnivores, dogs and cats have higher protein and fat requirements than humans that are best
fulfilled by flesh foods – meat, poultry, fish and eggs. They do not thrive on plant proteins
from wheat, corn, or soy, which supply an incomplete spectrum of amino acids. |
