Regardless of the kind of, eg. biscuit, canned, raw, or baked, the reason we look for the description of &#8220;full&#8221; in the package is because it suggests that the food is designed to meet daily needs of the body in all the nutrients, namely, amino acids, fatty acids, minerals and vitamins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The treats are <strong>anything<\/strong> outside of the main food, such as biscuits rewards, the sticks of oral hygiene, the slices of turkey or cheese, etc. Delicacy can be considered as a tin can, which we give in a small amount of your pet, in order to eat the dry food. Even if the can says on the packaging that is as \"complete\", since you don't give it as a main food, is considered a delicacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The treats are further calories for the body of an animal. This, of course, does not mean that we can't give you, but that you have to give in controlled quantity. Every animal should be hired by the food of a specific number of calories per day. It is very important that the calories from treats should not exceed 10% of total calories, so that the remaining 90% coming from the main, full food. In other words, of every 100 calories you hire our pet within the day, the 90 to come by food, and the 10 of delicacies. A&nbsp;complete food &#8220;promises&#8221; to meet the needs of the animal in all the nutrients, if the animal consumes only the food that. The involvement of the main food with other foods \"cancels\" the balance of nutrients, which is, after all, one of the major advantages of commercial feed. Equally negative effect on the balance of food from the grant of the in a quantity of less than or greater than the proposed. In the first case, we have as a result of the lack of concentration of nutrients in the body. In the second case we have as a result of excess calories, fat&nbsp; but some nutrients, for which there is an upper safe limit (eg. vitamin A), and in which the proposed amount of food would not cause any excess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The daily calorie intake can be determined with accuracy at the nutritional assessment of the animal. By taking a detailed history and clinical examination, evaluation of the nutritional status of the animal and identified with the nutritional risk factors, i.e. points that show how the animal has specific dietary requirements, such as, the development, the advanced age, the education, the high level of activity or a medical condition. With all this data, we are able to calculate the daily needs of the animal in calories, and then 10% of these. For example, even 500 calories daily needs, so 50 calories (10%) margin for treats. Based on this, we calculate the quantities of delicacies that correspond to this margin, e.g., 40 gr. roast chicken, or 5 cookies of 10 calories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The delicacies of our little friend can be standard or homemade. Each category has its benefits. &nbsp;The standard delicacies is more practical, since you don't need to dedicate staff time to manufacture them, and we can offer at our pet a variety of flavors, even in unusual materials. Also, the standard delicacies accompanied with the nutrition labelling, so we know at any time the caloric content, so that we can calculate the appropriate daily amount. On the other hand, the homemade treats offer the luxury to know exactly the materials that we used and to tailor the recipe to the preferences of the animal and\/or in the requirements of his health. Especially in cases where the diet plays a crucial role, such as the renal disease and the food allergy, the preparation of delicacies at home with a recipe and personalized to the needs of the animal, it is often the only option, in order to be sure about their suitability for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most common mistakes we make as guardians is that it does not take into account is that the pet has a different metabolism from us. Many times, we give 1 &#8211; 2 slices of turkey to our puppy, with the rationale that we give him something very small, mrs. light, as you were thinking for us. But in a doggy 5 pounds, 2 slices of turkey are equivalent calorie with a medium-sized burgers or 2 small donuts into an adult. Another common mistake is that we consider all the delicacies of the trade are the same and give the same amount from each one. Each product delicatessen has a different caloric content and fat percentage, which means that the suggested daily amount is different. The non-careful administration delicacies is one of the main causes of diseases related to body weight (obesity, low weight due to poor nutrition) in pet animals and can be avoided entirely by means of the nutritional assessment of the animal and the respect of the proposed quantities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0397 \u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u03cd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c1\u03b7 \u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03bb\u03bf\u03b3\u03ae \u03b3\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c4\u03b7 \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03c4\u03c1\u03bf\u03c6\u03ae \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c4\u03b5\u03c4\u03c1\u03ac\u03c0\u03bf\u03b4\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c6\u03af\u03bb\u03bf\u03c5 \u03bc\u03b1\u03c2, \u03cc\u03c3\u03bf\u03bd \u03b1\u03c6\u03bf\u03c1\u03ac \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03ba\u03cd\u03c1\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c4\u03c1\u03bf\u03c6\u03ae \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5, \u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9 \u03ad\u03bd\u03b1 \u00ab\u03c0\u03bb\u03ae\u03c1\u03b5\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b9\u03c3\u03bf\u03c1\u03c1\u03bf\u03c0\u03b7\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u00bb \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03ca\u03cc\u03bd. \u0391\u03bd\u03b5\u03be\u03b1\u03c1\u03c4\u03ae\u03c4\u03c9\u03c2 \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u03b5\u03af\u03b4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 \u03c4\u03b7\u03c2, \u03c0\u03c7. \u03ba\u03c1\u03bf\u03ba\u03ad\u03c4\u03b1, \u03ba\u03bf\u03bd\u03c3\u03ad\u03c1\u03b2\u03b1, \u03c9\u03bc\u03ae \u03ae \u03bc\u03b1\u03b3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03b5\u03c5\u03c4\u03ae, \u03bf \u03bb\u03cc\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2 \u03c0\u03bf\u03c5 \u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03b6\u03b7\u03c4\u03bf\u03cd\u03bc\u03b5 \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03c6\u03ae &#8220;\u03c0\u03bb\u03ae\u03c1\u03b7\u03c2&#8221; \u03c3\u03c4\u03b7 \u03c3\u03c5\u03c3\u03ba\u03b5\u03c5\u03b1\u03c3\u03af\u03b1 \u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b4\u03b9\u03cc\u03c4\u03b9 \u03c5\u03c0\u03bf\u03b4\u03b7\u03bb\u03ce\u03bd\u03b5\u03b9 \u03c0\u03c9\u03c2 \u03b7 \u03c4\u03c1\u03bf\u03c6\u03ae \u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c3\u03c7\u03b5\u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03c3\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03b7 \u03ce\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5 \u03bd\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u03cd\u03c0\u03c4\u03b5\u03b9 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b8\u03b7\u03bc\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03bd\u03ac \u03c4\u03b9\u03c2 \u03b1\u03bd\u03ac\u03b3\u03ba\u03b5\u03c2 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1128","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","category-diatrofi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/petfoodologist.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/petfoodologist.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/petfoodologist.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/petfoodologist.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/petfoodologist.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1128"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/petfoodologist.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1128\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1129,"href":"https:\/\/petfoodologist.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1128\/revisions\/1129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/petfoodologist.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/petfoodologist.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/petfoodologist.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
