(Adnkronos) - “L'alimentazione nei nostri amici a quattro zampe gioca un ruolo fondamentale, per la vita e la salute del pet. Questo è un concetto di cui i proprietari hanno ottima consapevolezza e sono sempre più attenti alla gestione alimentare dei propri animali”. Infatti, “si informano e ricercano nel medico veterinario le informazioni prioritarie per quella che è la salute dei loro animali per tutte le fasi della loro vita.” “L’aspettativa di vita dei pet è cresciuta, ed è importante che l’alimentazione li supporti anche in condizioni patologiche ”. A dirlo Carla Giuditta Vecchiato, medico veterinario esperto in nutrizione, in occasione dell’evento di presentazione di una ricerca, condotta da Royal Canin® in collaborazione con SWG per analizzare le conoscenze, le abitudini e i falsi miti legati al benessere di cani e gatti: dalla salute, alle patologie passando per l’alimentazione specifica e le cure veterinarie.

00:00Our four-legged friends play an absolutely fundamental and priority role in the life and health of the pet.
00:12This is a concept that the owners are well aware of.
00:18Moreover, they are attentive owners who care about the management and feeding of their animals.
00:26Therefore, they are informed on various channels, official or unofficial channels,
00:33and they look for priority information in the veterinary doctor for the health of their animals,
00:40starting from all phases of life, starting from the juvenile phase, from growth up to the adult phase,
00:47and, as can obviously happen, also in pathological conditions.
00:51In fact, nutrition plays a fundamental role also for the therapeutic management of many pathologies,
00:57and the knowledge in this field is increasingly advanced,
01:01and therefore we have an increasingly conscious choice of what is nutrition for the management of various pathologies.
01:10Therefore, the owner's awareness is increasingly alive,
01:15and this clearly benefits both the health of the animal and the life expectancy and longevity.
01:21Nutrition plays a fundamental role in the health of pets and accompanies the animal in all phases of life,
01:29starting from growth.
01:31There cannot be a correct growth if the animal is not adequately supported with a specific diet,
01:38up to the maintenance of the adult phase,
01:41with the awareness that the owner must have, for example, in the management of a correct weight.
01:46Obesity is the first and most important nutritional pathology,
01:50up to the elderly phase.
01:52The elderly animal has different nutritional needs and therefore has specific nutritional requirements.
02:01Fortunately, our animals live more and more, the life expectancy has increased,
02:05and therefore it is important that the diet supports them throughout their lives, even in pathological conditions.
02:12There are many pathologies for which nutrition plays a fundamental role in therapeutic management.
