Abstract

Man, dog and cat have become closer now often sharing their living space. This requires knowing and respecting physiological features and nutritional needs of pets that some owners identify with people. They feed them at breakfast, lunch or supper their own food, off the table, seasoned, salty, sweet, unsuitable for pets. Such bites of unbalanced nutritional composition with time cause health problems and illnesses. The type and amount of food must be adapted to the needs for food which depend on the type of pet, place and the way it is kept, the kind and intensity of activity and the physiological life period such as growth, pregnancy, lactation or labour. Physiological organism differences of dogs and cats should also be considerwed since only this can ensure their long, good quality life to the joy of their owners
