We are what we eat. This maxim perfectly defines the diet that we must follow and that, therefore, our pets must maintain. We are therefore talking about what are known as therapeutic diets, which are diets that include a variety of foods that, in certain amounts, help control and even treat a disease.
It should be noted that this diet does not include any type of drug but tries to make our animal improve its quality of life, providing what benefits it and avoiding what harms it.
Obviously, each animal is different and has very different pathologies or traits (weight, age, complexion …), therefore, if you decide to include these menus to improve the well-being and average life of your pet, it is recommended that you consult an expert so that it meets the needs of your animal and knows specifically that it can improve it.
The objective of this diet is for the animal to feed itself without feeding the disease and although the thesis is simple, an exercise of trust between the veterinarian and the owner is needed for the administration of these foods without resorting to chemical products.
After certain studies and research, it has been concluded that certain foods and nutrients can be beneficial in certain ailments of our dogs and cats, achieving an improvement, and even in some cases a complete cure.
They are recipes and preparations that, normally, and highly recommended, are prepared in veterinary centers (although some, under expert supervision, can be prepared at home) so that in this way they are beneficial for the pet’s health.
We talk so much from stomach ailments to mobility problems. These diets are also highly recommended when our partner has just come out of some type of postoperative period and requires a special recovery.
It is important to say that when the pathology or disease disappears, it will be necessary to dispense with these diets and provide one that is normal and to which the animal is accustomed.
