A New Way of Eating to Promote Healthy Balance Nutrition for Your Pets.

Can you imagine eating the same food every day for the rest of yor life? There is a good chance no one could live like that! In the same way, your pets deserve an exciting and nutritionally varied diet too.

What is Variety Feeding?

At Addiction, we encourage pet owners to introduce a variety of different types of food regularly while feeding their pets. This would mean feeding a good balance of commercial foods and fresh foods. Pet owners can also introduce different protein sources into your pet’s diet in a gradual manner as with all new foods, Variety feeding is to help ensure that your pet consumes a good range of proteins, vitamins and minerals to attain a balanced diet for optimal health. The philosophy behind variety feeding is that no one food is able to provide all the nutrients your pet needs. All pets, like humans, grow and thrive on a variety of foods and have been doing so for centuries. Thus, variety feeding is suitable and recommended for all dogs and cats of all life stages.

What are the Benefits of Variety Feeding?

Besides providing a more balanced diet, feeding a variety of commercial and fresh foods has also been proven successful in combating allergies your pet may have. While there are rare cases of allergies occuring immediately, most common allergies occer when a pet is fed on one kind of food continuously, and eventually develops hypersensitivity to a specific protein source. Varying the diet prevents overexposure to any particular food and reduces the risk of allergies. By doing this, you may also have fewer problems if you need to change your pet’s diet at some point of time.

How Often Should I Introduce Variety?

You can start feeding your pet a variety of chicken, lamb or fish-based diets between meals, weekly or once every 2-3 months, depending on each individual animal. For example, if your are currently feeding Addiction’s Salmon Bleu, you may introduce or mix fresh salmon or other fishes like tuna or mackeral. Also, you can introduce a variety of nutritional treats to pamper or train your pet. Do remember however, that new foods should be gradually introduced so to prevent stomach upsets and loose stools. And of course, consult your vet before your decide to embark on variety feeding for your pets.

What Foods to Use in Variety Feeding?

It is generally a good idea to introduce a variety of 3 or more kinds of protein and food sources, such as lamb, and fish and various common proteins like chicken, beef or lamb. Introduce novel proteins such as brushtail, kangaroo, venison, or salmon to make sure regular protein intake is still maintained.

If your pet is already doing well on a particular brand of food, you could consider rotating different foods made by that brand for a wider range of nutritional benefits. For example:

Raw Dehydrated Food - Combines the goodness of raw food with the convenience of dry food.

Dry Food - Choose free-range protein meat sources with natural ingredients that contribute to overall health.

Wet Food - Gives your pet the richness of fresh meats.

Treats - Choose treats made from all natural nutritious ingredients for healthy guilt-free snacking and training.
