What to Do When Your Dog Has Ongoing Diarrhea and Won’t Eat
Persistent diarrhea in dogs usually traces back to cold exposure, parasites, a sudden food change, or illness such as enteritis, parvovirus, or distemper. Treat the cause, keep your dog hydrated, and get veterinary help if symptoms are severe.

A Cat’s Nutritional Needs and Feeding Standards
A cat's nutrients are the same six classes as other animals: water, protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, minerals.
