Diet Needs for Pets During Monsoon
It is not uncommon for pets to have an upset stomach in this weather which is why precise care is important. We recommend that you provide your pet with some nutrition-packed meals that would boost their immunity and help them to fight any viral diseases that may come their way. Lets see what meals are ideal for your pet this monsoon:
High-Quality Wet Food
Opt for wet foods that are high in essential nutrients because your dog would need them, especially in monsoon. Some dogs don’t feel like having as much water during monsoons which is why wet food keeps them hydrated as well as healthy. Ingredients such as chicken, chicken liver, fish, broccoli, kale, etc are packed with protein and help to boost your pet’s immunity. Therefore, we recommend trying out wet foods that include any of these ingredients.
Boiled/Steamed Vegetables
If you need to add additional fiber and vitamins to your pet’s diet then vegetables are one way to go. Vegetables such as Carrots, Peas and Pumpkin are as nutritious as they are tasty. Boil or steam some, cool them down and into your doggie’s bowl they go. Remember not to add any seasonings or spices.
Rice With Lean Protein
If you’re looking to provide your pet with some simple but balanced meal, you can go with rice and with lean protein for dogs that would include cooked chicken, turkey or lean cuts of beef. This meal may look simple but is filled with nutrition that helps your dog to keep up their strength and stay healthy. Avoid fatty meats and excessive seasoning, as these can upset your dog's stomach.
Homemade Broths
Nothing better on a cold rainy day than a bowl of homemade soup, especially for your furry friend. Prepare a warm and nourishing broth at home simply using lean meat, vegetables and, if you want, some rice. Even though it’s not considered a whole meal, providing it as an evening snack is highly recommended. It adds nutritional value to your pet’s diet and aids in keeping up your pet’s health. It also keeps your dog hydrated as they contain the required amount of moisture.
Health Supplements
Another way to increase your pet’s immunity and strength is with the use of health supplements. These contain all the essential nutrients, the vitamins, minerals, prebiotics and probiotics, etc, to boost your pet’s immunity. We especially recommend adding probiotic supplements to your pet’s diet. These supplements can help promote healthy gut flora and reduce the risk of digestive issues often associated with weather changes. Daily use of supplements will help keep your pet healthier and stronger, enabling them to fight off any diseases that monsoon has to offer.
Keep Your Pet Healthy This Monsoon
Our pets may love to explore outdoors, even in monsoon and we shouldn't stop them because we are afraid of the potential health problems. Instead, we should prepare their body to stay at its healthiest at this time and tackle those diseases. This can be done by taking care of their nutritional needs and providing appropriate meals in the monsoon. We recommend some of the meals that have a high amount of nutrition and by daily intake of these healthy foods, your pet would stay fit as a fiddle.
