Natural Diet vs Dry Food: What to Choose for Your Pet?

First and foremost, any type of diet should be balanced and filled with essential nutrients and vitamins.

Achieving this with a natural diet is more challenging. It's important to note that feeding your pet table scraps is strictly prohibited, as it can lead to various health problems. Therefore, you will need to daily create a diet for your pet, taking into account its specific needs, and spend a lot of time on portioning and preparation.

Feeding exclusively raw meat can result in metabolic issues, while natural soft food can lead to the formation of dental plaque and tartar. Often, additional vitamin supplements are required with such feeding, and portions of this kind of food spoil faster, necessitating more frequent purchases.

Specially formulated commercial pet food makes this process easier, and there are also specific types of food adapted to the health needs of your pet. This is much safer, faster, and easier than composing a diet. Dry food is more easily digestible and has a longer shelf life. However, it's essential to remember that your pet should have constant access to water when consuming dry food.

Should you mix natural and commercial feeding? Absolutely NOT, as it can lead to imbalance and gastrointestinal issues.
