Pet Nutrition: A guide for dogs, cats, and small animals

At Triovet, we believe that a balanced diet is key to your pet’s long-term health and happiness. Proper nutrition strengthens the immune system, supports growth and development, and helps prevent a range of health issues. Whether you care for a dog, cat or rabbit, providing the right nutrients at every life stage is essential to their wellbeing.
Just like humans, pets need a mix of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, but their nutritional needs vary by species, age, size and health status:

• Dogs benefit from diets rich in protein and fat to maintain energy and muscle tone.
• Cats, as obligate carnivores (an animal that must eat meat to survive), require high-protein meals with nutrients like taurine to support heart and vision health.
• Small pets/rodents thrive on high-fibre diets, including hay, fresh vegetables and limited pellets to promote digestive balance.
