πŸ“ Summary

Good feeding means deworming on schedule (from about 2 months, then every 3–6 months), picking food that fits the pet instead of sharing yours, and never giving chocolate or onion, which can poison and cause gut disease.

1 Parasites

Most dogs and cats carry mother-derived worms and can pick up more outdoors; these steal nutrients and can cause anemia and disease in pets and people. From about two months, deworm every two weeks for 3–4 rounds, then every 3–6 months.

2 Pick the Right Food

Don’t just share your food; that harms more than helps. Choose food suited to the pet so it gets real nutrition.

3 Toxic Foods

Chocolate, onion, and the like cause discomfort at best and poisoning or gut disease at worst. Love means feeding what is good for them, not what they beg for.
