Cats and Dogs Nutrition
Feeding them well is our whole story!
When veterinarian Pierre-Richard Dick, the founder of Virbac, began working on nutrition in 1989, he was driven by a conviction: it is the continuum of health for cats and dogs. From that time on, we have made it a key element of our global approach to animal health by offering veterinarians and pet owners foods specially designed for cats and dogs.
NUTRITION, A KEY ELEMENT OF THEIR HEALTH
- As with humans, the health of dogs and cats begins with nutrition.
- It is an essential part of our overall approach to their health.
- The veterinary practitioner has always been our essential partner.
RESPECT THEIR CARNIVOROUS NATURE
- Despite their domestication, dogs and cats remain carnivore.
- Their diet must take into account their nutritional needs, specific to their anatomy and physiology.
- A diet that favors animal proteins corresponds to their taste and naturally provides them with all the essential nutrients for optimum comfort and quality of life.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS
- To be in good shape, cats and dogs need a quality, complete and balanced diet every day.
- Our veterinary nutritionists ensure this by carefully defining the proportions of essential nutrients adapted to the needs of each animal.
- The quality of the food is also based on a rigorous selection of ingredients.
ADAPT TO THE NEEDS OF EACH ANIMAL
- Because each animal unique, its diet must be adapted to its specific nutritional needs.
- They vary depending on the species, size, age, and activity of the animal.
- In the event of illness, the animal's nutritional needs change. Dietary foods contribute to good management by the practitioner.
