9 Signs You Take Care of Your Pet Wrong But It Can't Complain
9 Signs You Take Care of Your Pet Wrong But It Can't Complain
Why are so many of our pets overweight? According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 60% of cats and 56% of dogs in the US are obese or overweight. Of course, no pet owner would purposely make such grave mistakes when it comes to feeding their furry friend. Nonetheless, there are several things you should avoid so that your pet will be happy and healthy!
Do you know, for example, that you should never give your pet human food? A lot of the products we humans eat contain too much salt, sugar, artificial colorants and sweeteners, and fat. All these additives are extremely harmful to pets.

SUMMARY:
– While plastic bowls are inexpensive and convenient, they’re not the best for your pet’s health. Both cats and dogs can develop different allergic reactions to plastic. On top of that, some dogs like to chew on their bowl, which means they risk ingesting pieces of plastic.
– Dogs can develop serious health issues if you let them have avocados, garlic, raisins, chocolate, mushrooms, peaches, or grapes. Most of these products are just as toxic for cats too.
– If your cat or dog gets treats too often, they’ll lose their appetite for their everyday nutritious meals. This can result in pet obesity.
– Just like people, dogs and cats should be fed according to their age and lifestyle. Younger animals need to eat more often than older ones since they need more nutrients for proper growth.
– Dogs especially can’t control how much they eat when they see food. Their instincts will scream at them to gobble up everything they find on their plate. This problem is less prominent in felines.
– Surprisingly, there are those who feed dog food to their cats and vice versa. Interchanging pet foods will lead to serious health complications.
– Pets, especially dogs, love bones. At the same time, this doesn’t mean that you should feed bones to them. It doesn’t matter if these bones are from pork, poultry, fish, or beef.
– Tuna can be used as a treat every now and then. But if you turn it into your cat’s everyday diet, this will cause malnutrition. What’s worse, a tuna diet may lead to mercury poisoning.
– Believe it or not, neither cats nor dogs should be given milk. If, for whatever reason, you have to bottle-feed a newborn pet, you should buy a special formula for puppies and kitties. Cow milk isn’t a good substitute for their mom’s milk.

Why do I feel like this is mostly about dogs. That’s great and all but I also need to know about cats.
90 %of Americans are morbidly obese .
So should we give our dogs a chicken leg
Well I always give left over chicken or turkey to my cat and nothing bad happens to my cat and she also loves her milk and she’s 6 years old there’s nothing wrong giving milk to cats.
Which are cuter
Huh
Kittens and puppies or cats and dogs
My bougie kitten refuses to eat out of any bowl, and will only eat off a glass plate. Also he eats human food suchas chicken, fish, carrots, or beef but I or someone else in my household cook it for him without adding any seasoning, and mix it into his kitten food. It’s the only way we can get him to eat his dried or wet kitten food and he’s a very healthy happy kitten.
At least I use a paper plate as a feeding bowl for my pets
My cat was already overweight when I adopted her s few months ago cri
I call bs on "free feeding" and used those timed feeder..i "free feed" my pet’s meal because she doesn’t eat all her meal at once. She nibbles on bites throughout the day. By the next morning, her bowl is empty and she eats every bite of kibble. I only refill the bowl when there’s little to no food in her bowl.
Haw you then feed kitten if ther mum is s gone because my cat kitten it need milk but thers no mum
OK cool
I have a steel bowl
A little tip cats love chicken turkey bacon and some pork
This vid is a lie my parents did all those for sixteen years and that cat is still heathy
I’m making a lot of mistakes
I am
My cat for some reason only eats her food if there is only a small spoon full of food in her bowl
I feed my dog cheese And he will give up ANYTHING EVEN HIS Stolen leg
The inaccuracies in these videos are appoling.
Are they talking about Chicken of the Sea or Friskies when they say don’t feed them tuna ?
Why so many dog
Plz talk about rats/rodents in general so I know w0t I’m doing wrong!
don’t fatshame the chonks
Oh I have to free feed my cat. I half full the bowl but still. She needs me with her when she eats :< she was trained by her owners who abandoned her, to eat ONLY when the owner is there. I feel bad, but she’s slowly learning to eat without me 🙂
Me
To anyone looking to improve their pets health and have the extra income to spare, do your research and look into a raw diet for them. Done properly its the best diet for them. If you can’t do this I’d recommend wet food instead of kibble.
I only give my cat Lucy ham some of the time chicken turkey stuff like that my cat Ricky doesn’t eat that
Thank you for this im gonna avoid giving my little kitten too much milk again, thanks for this.
I’ve been free fooding my dog for about 11 years and she healthy!
Cats can eat raw fşsh sometimes they were evolved to do that
I give my cat a tiny bit of turkey a moth she’ll be ok right
3:40 number seix
There are several mistake I been committing with my cat …u save her live …thx u .
Do a face reverence and go on kassy land
I had a cat several years ago. I bought a black rubber bowl from a feed store. I used to fill the bowl and let my cat free feed. The bowl could hold a 40pound bag of cat food. My cat was aloud to go in and out and I made sure he had plenty of everything. Thanksgiving day he got ran over.
my cat died because we filled his bowl all day
dont make this mistake
Well Some human foods are safe for dogs are cats. Theres a video.
But what if I give my cat fish?
i feed my kitten cat food i am watching this on the week before school im a littel sad
I have put water out for my cat since it was little (He is now 8)and I have yet to see him drink any!I have to be sneaky to stop dehydration by mixing it with his packet food to make the gravy runnier. Yet he will drink milk and loves to finish off my porridge in winter..He loves my bolognaise sauce and the occasional snippet of steak I’ll share with him.Always in a metal or porcelain dish
He wanders off for a few days then eats about 2/3 packets, some crunchy cat food and a treat or 2,rests in the house then goes off again.Other times he calls in the house for 3 meals a day,depending on his mood,the weather etc
But the dispenser is plastic
Free feeding works great for my cat because he eats a little when he is hungry. A full bowl lasts for days, he knows that the food won’t disappear and only eats when he needs to.
We monitor his weight so he won’t gain unnecessary weight.
And for some reason, dog treats manufacturers have decided that it’s a good idea to make chew toys out of plastic! i.e. Nylabone, which splinter and can tear up a dog’s gut! DO NOT use them!!!!
I feed my cat tuna once a week is this ok?
I Love cats. Do you have a A cat??
I give both my cats one treat a day between 8-9 pm when I take my own medications. Now they remind me when treat time is, and I remember to take my pills. I put their treats near my pills in a cabinet they cant get into.
