Professionals strengthen the homemade diet is safe only with professional prescription and nutritional balance
Offering human food to dogs and cats can compromise their health. The Federal Council of Veterinary Medicine (CFMV) warns that non -balanced diets represent a real risk of nutritional deficiencies.
A protocol From the Faculty of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences of the Paulist State University (UNESP) strengthens that homemade recipes are safe only if they include mineral supplements, since nothing is more efficient than a balanced diet formulated for the animal.
The Brazilian society of nutrition and nutrology of dogs and cats (sbnutripipes) underlines that dogs and cats need between 37 and 45 nutrients daily. This shows that improvisation with domestic foods does not barely provide all these needs.
THE CFMV And the regional councils recommend that any diet is prescribed by a veterinarian with animal nutrition formation, because even “natural” recipes may not have essential nutrients.
UNESP also warns that homemade diets ready for human consumption do not replace those specifically formulated for pets, since they do not meet the requirements of international entities such as AAFCO (acronym for the association of American food control officers).
According to a study by the same institution, these diets need technical adjustments involving supplements – without it, there is a risk of football, vitamins and protein deficiencies.
The rough or homemade natural foods can have contamination from pathogenic agents such as Salmonella OR Toxoplasma. Studies strengthen that the best approach is a technical guide, with careful preparation. See the study published on the Brazilian Journal of Zoodochnics.
Therefore, the recommendation of the entities is that the domestic feeding is performed with balanced commercial feed, formulated by animal nutritionists or with homemade diets at home by specialized veterinarians.
In summary: House food can be offered to the animal, but only with a balanced diet prescribed by a professional. Otherwise, opt for the appropriate feed for the species and phase of the life of the animal.
