NEVER SHOW YOUR LOVE THAT WAY!

NEVER SHOW YOUR LOVE THAT WAY!

Pets have their own taste and liking as much we humans do. In fact, some Pets are very choosy and some are voracious eaters. Over feeding is not good and feeding the wrong food stuff is dangerous to our pet friends.

When I was a kid my grandma used to tell me that dogs will not eat certain human food stuff like banana and honey.

But  when I grew up I found that it was not so. My LAB Harry is fond of both and he won’t touch only the grapes!

Pets have their own taste and liking as much we  humans do. In fact some pets are very choosy and some  are voracious eaters.

I have come across people who feed their pets everything they like and eat. They feel guilty if they are not sharing their best food with their pet.

In fact it only harms the pet by making them obese, arthritic and, or damaging their organs.

Let us never show our love that way!

Some pets are very sensitive and they won't even like if you switch over to a new brand. When we prefer a better brand or quality ,we should be patient to make them to adopt. When we intend to change , first we should add little with the old food and should slowly increase the percentage before it makes it fully new. It is better, we can even delay 5 to 10 minutes on the scheduled feeding time as they will feel hungry and accept the change without any reluctance.     

Let us feed our pets nutritious food developed with their need in mind and choose treats good for them instead of our scrumptious one or the table scraps.
