Can older cats have meat?

  Can older cats can have raw meat? If you have  been thinking about giving your cat raw fish, talk to your veterinarian about it.

Cats cannot thrive at any age on a vegetarian diet. If you're feeding your cat with dehydrated meat, ensure that it is reconstituted with enough water. Dry food is not the best for elderly cats.

Are carrots good for cats?

  Can cats eat carrots? Are carrots safe for your cats?

You may notice your cats are looking longingly at the carrots that you're snacking on. You might wonder if it's safe to give your cat carrots as an occasional treat.

The answer is yes. Your cat can be given carrots once they are cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces.

 Carrots cannot be a substitute for meat. Cats must have meat in their diet. In addition, carrots are naturally sweet so your cat should not be given them in excess,since  that can contribute to health problems such as diabetes.

Distilled water and your dog

Your veterinarian may sometimes recommend that you give your dog distilled water. This will sometimes happen in cases where your dog has a chronic condition such as congestive heart failure. 

Dogs, cats and other pets with chronic conditions like these usually benefit from changes in their diet. Your veterinarian will recommend specific changes in their intake of salt, potassium, phosphorus and other nutrients if they have congestive heart failure. 

Dogs with congestive heart failure tend to retain water, sodium and chloride. Diuretics are often given to dogs with congestive heart failure in order to remove fluid build up around the heart. This alleviates pressure on the heart.

However, if your dog is drinking water that contributes to higher levels of sodium and chloride your veterinarian may recommend that you switch to distilled water. Giving your dog drinking water that's low in sodium should be done along with putting your dog on a diet that is low in salt  (sodium chloride).
