One of the most important tasks of every owner is to choose the correct nutrients for his pet. Nutrients are substances obtained from food and used by an animal as a source of energy. Number of nutrients a pet gets depends on a diet choice.
Here are the essential classes of nutrients fundamental for healthy living:
- water is the most important nutrient
- proteins
- fats
- vitamins
The choice of food is especially important for cats, as part of metabolic machinery necessary for maintenance and growth. So, cats should be able to get all the nutrients they need, from high-quality food. Otherwise, an unbalanced nutrition can lead to indigestion and disease development.
