Why Customisation Is Important For Your Pet's Food
In the field of pet nutrition, the idea of a "one-size-fits-all" diet has been widely challenged, especially concerning pet food. Even reputable commercial kibble diets that claim to provide balanced nutrition do not necessarily meet the needs of every pet. While these products often undergo rigorous testing and adhere to industry standards, they typically follow a one-size-fits-all approach that may overlook the unique requirements of individual pets.
As pet owners increasingly seek biologically species-appropriate diets for their dogs and cats, understanding the importance of customised fresh food diets becomes essential. While commercial fresh food diets in the market aim to replicate the nutritional profile of their counterparts in the wild, generic commercial fresh food diet models often overlook critical individual needs. For example, a young, healthy, energetic puppy requires a different nutritional profile than an adult dog with health issues. Allergies and sensitivities are also significant considerations as what works for one pet might trigger severe reactions in another. Moreover, not all fresh food diets are created equal. Some may lack essential nutrients or fail to provide a balanced composition especially diets that are homemade or not scientifically formulated. Just as humans have varying dietary requirements based on factors like age, activity level, and health conditions, our pets do as well. This is where BOM BOM sets itself apart.
BOM BOM’s species appropriate meal plans are customised, and nutritionally balanced tailored for individual needs of each pet. The key factors to be considered in BOM BOM diet customisation are as below:
Benefits of Sous Vide Meals for Pets
Breed: Different breeds have unique characteristics that influence their dietary requirements. For instance, small breeds often require higher portions relative to their body size than large breed dogs because of their higher surface area to volume ratio. This means that smaller dogs lose heat more quickly than larger dogs, which increases their energy expenditure. As a result, they need more calories per pound of body weight to maintain their energy levels and overall health.
Age: Puppies, adults, and seniors have distinct nutritional needs. Puppies require a diet that is higher in calories, protein, and essential nutrients to support their rapid growth and development compared to adult pets that generally need a balanced diet which focuses on providing the right amount of calories and nutrients to sustain their activity levels and maintaining the weight.
Body Condition Score: Maintaining an ideal weight is crucial for your pet’s health. BOM BOM diets can be adjusted based on your pet’s body condition score, helping to prevent obesity or promote weight gain when needed.
Allergies and Sensitivities: Identifying and avoiding allergens is essential for pets with food sensitivities. These conditions can manifest in various ways, including skin irritations, gastrointestinal upset, or more serious health issues. For pets with known allergens, we can exclude specific ingredients or protein types from their diet, creating a meal plan that avoids potential triggers.
Activity Level: Highly active pets often require more protein and fat to fuel their energy levels, while less active pets may need a more moderate diet to maintain a healthy weight.
Health Issues: Pets with conditions such as pancreatitis, kidney disease, or allergies benefit from customised diets to manage their health effectively. At BOM BOM, our nutritionists assess each pet's unique health needs to provide personalized meal recommendations tailored to their specific conditions.
