Common Feeding Mistakes Pet Parents Make

Most feeding mistakes are not caused by neglect — they are caused by misinformation.

Mistake 1: Focusing on Ingredients Instead of Biology

Ingredients are often judged without context.

What matters more is:

• Digestibility

• Bioavailability

• Metabolic impact

Mistake 2: Assuming “Complete & Balanced” Means Optimal

“Complete and balanced” is a regulatory term.

It does not:

• Guarantee ingredient quality

• Reflect long-term health outcomes

• Account for processing effects

Mistake 3: Treating Dogs and Cats the Same

Feeding cats like small dogs — or dogs like omnivores — ignores fundamental biology.

This mistake often leads to:

• Digestive issues

• Skin and coat problems

• Energy fluctuations

Mistake 4: Changing Foods Without Understanding Why

Switching foods without understanding the biological reason often creates confusion rather than improvement.

Understanding why you are feeding something matters more than how often you change it.
