April 13, 2007, Newsletter Issue #59: Don't Overdo or Underdo Fiber

Tip of the Week

How much fiber is your pet getting? Fiber, which is obtained via plants, is a very important element of a balanced diet. Fiber is an indigestible substance found in food that helps to support a healthy digestive system. Minimal quantities of fiber are crucial in aiding proper food digestion. Without the right amount of fiber in your pet's diet, your pet could suffer from digestive problems, such as diarrhea and constipation, which could lead to potential health risks. Before you even think about buying the cheapest brand of pet food at the supermarket keep in mind that what you save in money your pet may pay for with his health. Because it is cheaper to manufacture, a lot of the poorer quality pet foods tend to have more fiber than most pet foods. The correct amount of fiber is crucial when making pet diet and nutrition decisions.
