Weight management can even be an issue with your pets. Choosing the right food can also be quite a feat. Nutrience creates an option for cats and dogs. Its line of foods caters to specific nutritional needs of pets. Nutrience Diet is made for overweight pets. In addition, pets who may be on the borderline of obesity can also benefit from a weight management product.
History
Rolf C. Hagen started making pet food in 1988. He purchased a formula for pet food from a veterinarian in Ontario, Canada. This particular product's name is a merge of the words nutrition and science. In 2001, Hagen introduced his diet formula known as Nutrience Diet.
Options
Nutrience Diet is made for both cats and dogs. Each formula is specific to the needs of the species. In addition, Nutrience Diet has different products for each species and for each age group. For example, there are three catergories for cats by age. One is for cats under one year old and another for cats that are one year old and up. There is also an option for cats over 10 years old. Kittens need more nutrients, such as proteins, than older cats.
Ingredients
The ingredients vary by age and species. However, there are certain ingredients in all Nutrience Diet products. The main ingredients include corn meal, chicken meal, chicken fat and dried egg. The main difference between the Nutrience Diet and other Nutrience products in the presence of carnitine. Carnitine is an amino acid that aids in the process of turning fat into energy.
Nutritional Values
Nutrience Diet is filled with essential nutrients for a well balanced diet. The Nutrience Diet for kittens is 33.5 percent protein, while the version for puppies consists of 30 percent protein. The Nutrience Diet for puppies contains 3 percent fiber while the version for senior dogs contains 4 percent. All versions of Nutrience Diet contain vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin C.
Directions
Kittens at 3 weeks of age may begin to eat solid foods. However, they should be moistened to ensure easy digestion. Both kittens and puppies should have food available to them at any time. This guarantees that your growing pet is receiving enough food. However, older dogs and cats should only be fed one time per day. This allows for your pet to burn those calories off so its weight is manageable.
