Scientific feeding guide: How to address the challenge of pet object-type management?
Many pets are used to “fear-in-the-hand” catch when feeding, which is often the cause of their obesity or malnutrition. This tool is based on internationally applicable tools RER (silent energy requirement) and DER (daily energy requirements) Formulas designed to address the specific pain points of the pets during the feeding process.
Accompanying the obesity crisis by “over-feeding”
According to statistics, over 50% The pets are overweight. Obesity increases the risk of cortitis, diabetes and heart disease in pets. With the calculator, you can:
- Precision Quantification: Calculated on the basis of the ideal weight of the pet rather than the current weight, with the assisted weight reduction.
- Dynamic adjustments: Real-time adjustments of grams are made as seasons (heat consumption during winter) or activity changes.
2. Addressing the special nutritional needs of larvae and older persons
Metabolism rates vary greatly between life stages:
- Early childhood: At the time of rapid growth of bones and muscles, the caloric demand per weight was 2-3 times greater than that of adult pets.
- Age: As the base metabolic rate declines, excessive caloric intake is rapidly converted to fat. Our tools incorporate age correction factors to ensure that caloric intake is good.
3. How do you understand the data on the dog food/cat food pack?
The calorie density of each food is different. Some food is highly protein-rich and is only small enough to meet demand; Some prescriptions or diets are lower in heat. The key to calculating is to enter the correct "kcal/100g" value 。 This data is usually printed near the “nutrient analysis table” in the package. If not, it is recommended that the branding be consulted.
4. Operational recommendations: the importance of eating less
A reasonable distribution is equally important when calculating the gross daily grams. For cats, the less eating is more in keeping with their natural eating habits and helps prevent the problems of the urinary system; For medium-sized and large dogs, two-part feeding can significantly reduce the risk of gastrogenic (GDV) reversal.
Common issues (FAQ)
The amount calculated seems small. Are the pets hungry?
The calculations reflect the precision caloric mass required to maintain the desired state of health. If you think the pet is not full, you can try to increase the volume with bubble water or add a suitable amount of low-heat vegetables (e.g. broccoli, carrots) to supplement the diet fibres to increase the abdominal satuation.
Do you need to deduct the heat from snacks?
Absolutely. The amount of snack calories should not exceed 10 per cent of the total daily calorie. If you have more snacks for pets today, please reduce the number of grams of staple foods.
