Choosing the Right Food for Your Pet in the New Year

Every new year, we make resolutions, examine our lifestyle, and try to put our best foot forward for the brand-new experiences to come. Caring for our pets can be just as complex as caring for ourselves. Pets may need a certain diet, medication or lifestyle depending on their condition. As you get ready for your annual reboot, have you made the same considerations for your pet?

The best question to start with is the most essential one: What will your pet be eating every day? 

Consider the questions below when deciding what to feed your pet and always consult your veterinarian for diet-specific questions regarding their health and special conditions.

Is Your Pet New to the Family?

“New” in the pet world can mean a couple of different things. You may have a brand-new puppy or kitten, an unexpected rescue, or maybe an adoption from your local shelter. Whatever the case, scheduling a checkup with your vet is a great place to start the “what food to eat” conversation. They will be able to tell you an approximate age, their current health condition, and any possible allergies, which are all great to know when choosing a food.

Does Your Pet Have Food Allergies or Sensitivities?

Many of our fur family members can be sensitive to certain ingredients. If your pet is sensitive or your vet says they have an allergy, always check ingredients on food and treats to make sure they are in line with your pet’s special diet.

How Old is Your Pet?

A pet’s nutritional needs change as they grow and develop into adult and senior life stages. That’s why it is best to choose food specially formulated for your pet’s evolving needs. Just as in the puppy stage, dogs have specific needs when they are in the older stages of life.

Evolve Grain Free Senior Formula not only tastes amazing because the #1 ingredient is Deboned Chicken, but it also provides glucosamine and chondroitin which helps aid and support joint health that is essential for our aging pets.

What Type of Food Will You Feed?

The great debate Dry Food Vs Wet Food, or a combination of both may seem daunting, but it is all part of the pet parent journey. Some pets are pickier than others and may need a little extra encouragement to eat. Finding and keeping a meal-time routine is essential to a pet’s diet and health, so start with the recommend dry food first and see if your pet is enticed to eat. If that fails, see if they respond better to wet food and be conscious of their elimination habits and waste. If it is too runny, think about trying a combination of wet and dry food and see if that helps to have more solid, compact stools. If you are unsure or have specific questions, be sure to consult your vet about which combo may be right for your pet.

Evolve Grain Free Salmon & Sweet Potato Stew in Gravy Cat Food is a great topper for dry food if you want to give your cat an extra special treat or it can be used every day as their preferred complete and balanced meal. However you choose, the superfoods like cranberries and blueberries mixed with real salmon and sweet potato will make your cat purr with approval.

A great benefit to choosing Evolve is that your pet’s favorite formula is generally available in wet and dry form. That way, if you want to try a different feeding approach you don’t have to sacrifice the food formula they already love.
