Supporting your pet’s health through good nutrition
Every pet is unique, and their nutritional needs will vary depending on their age, breed, lifestyle and any underlying health conditions.
The building blocks of a healthy diet
A complete and balanced diet provides all the essential nutrients your pet needs to thrive.
Water
Fresh, clean water should always be available. Water is your pet’s most important nutrient and is essential for healthy organ function, digestion and temperature regulation.
Protein
Protein supports healthy muscles, skin, coat and immune function. Dogs and cats benefit from high-quality animal-based proteins, which provide the essential amino acids they need for growth and overall health.
Fats
Healthy fats provide energy, help absorb important vitamins and support healthy skin and coat condition. Like any nutrient, balance is important, as excess fat can contribute to weight gain and obesity-related health issues.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates provide an important source of energy to help fuel your pet’s daily activities. They also contribute valuable fibre, which supports healthy digestion.
Vitamins and Minerals
Vitamins and minerals play an essential role in healthy bones, immune function, metabolism and many other body systems. A complete commercial diet is carefully formulated to provide these nutrients in the correct amounts.
Foods to Avoid
Tips for a healthy diet
Choose a quality pet food
We recommend feeding a premium, complete and balanced diet that has been developed through nutritional research. High-quality diets provide consistent nutrition and can help support healthy digestion, skin, coat and body condition.
Feed the right amount
Every pet has different energy requirements. Feeding guidelines are a great starting point, but portions should always be adjusted based on your pet’s ideal body weight and lifestyle.
If you’re unsure how much to feed, our team is happy to help.
Keep food fresh
Store dry food in a cool, dry place in a sealed container, and always check expiry dates. Fresh food should be served in a clean bowl, with any uneaten portions discarded promptly.
Maintain a feeding routine
Regular meal times help support healthy digestion and establish good eating habits. Puppies and kittens generally require more frequent meals than adult pets.
Avoid feeding table scraps
Many human foods are too rich for pets and may cause digestive upset. Some foods, including chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions and xylitol, are toxic and should never be fed.
Healthy Weight Matters
Nutrition through every stage of life
Your pet’s nutritional requirements change as they grow.
- Puppies and kittens need diets that support healthy growth and development.
- Adult pets benefit from balanced nutrition that helps maintain an ideal weight and overall wellbeing.
- Senior pets often require diets with adjusted calorie levels and nutrients to support ageing joints, mobility and overall health.
Feeding a diet appropriate for your pet’s life stage helps ensure they receive the nutrients they need at every age.
