TALKING TO AN ANIMAL NUTRITIONIST:

"The inside scoop"

Nutrition Tips

Like humans, your pet should be getting check-ups regularly. Take your pets to a veterinarian for annual physicals, and whenever an injury or sudden health condition pops up. Do not make major changes to your pet's diet without consulting a veterinarian, particularly if there are health conditions present.

Obesity

Is your cat or dog a bit overweight?  If you have a plump pooch, try switching to Evanger's dry chicken or pheasant diet, and replace part of the dry diet with any of the canned meat products.  The 100% meat cans, which include duck, chicken, beef, rabbit, pheasant, and buffalo, are low in fat but high in protein-building amino acids and other essential nutrients -- and are also loaded with flavor.  This means that your dieting dog can lose weight without feeling starved, and you know you've done something nutritious, balanced, and gentle.  Be sure to limit the overall amount of food eaten.

Fat cats, too, benefit from Evanger's cans.  Try replacing their existing diet with the meat-based USDA Certified Organic Braised Chicken Dinner or the Seafood & Caviar Dinner.  Neither is high in fat, and both are loaded with nutrients.  Again, limit the overall amount of food eaten.  And avoid those high-calorie snacks!

As much as Evanger's can help with weight control, it is important to remember that exercise is a large factor as well. Try to give your dog about 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise daily. Not only will this benefit your pet's well-being, but give you quality time to spend with your pet.

Allergies

Have you had a veterinarian do allergy testing on your cat or dog? If so, you'll have a list of food ingredients that should be avoided.  Evanger's offers such a broad range of different meat sources (chicken, turkey, beef, duck, rabbit, pheasant, buffalo, lamb) that you should have no difficulty selecting a product that will help your fuzzy pal.  And most Evanger's cans are marked "Kosher for Passover."  These products are free of corn, soy, wheat, and dairy, ingredients that can trigger allergy flare-ups.

Urinary Tract Infections

Run this past your veterinarian:  If your cat or dog tends to develop struvite crystals in its urine, causing pain and infection, Evanger's might be able to help.  If urine can be made more acidic, struvite crystals can't form. Meat happens to be a natural acidifier.  Try adding any of Evanger's canned meat products to your dog's or cat's diet.  This is a common-sense, drug-free way of improving your pet's health
