As pet owners become more conscious of their own diets and the impact it has on their health, they naturally become more interested in what their animal companions are eating and how that might be affecting their pet's health. Many are exploring alternatives to standard commercial pet foods, and some are asking their veterinarians for advice. Small-animal nutrition is an ever-changing field. What veterinarians were taught 10 years ago may no longer be sound advice. This article explores some of the reasoning behind the development of both conventional commercial pet foods and the alternative foods and diets. It questions some of the conventional dogma as well as some of the trendy assumptions in the current marketplace. The intent is to provide the veterinarian with some balanced information on which to base nutritional advice to clients, and to begin forming new opinions or at least asking new questions. Guidelines on formulating a homemade diet for dogs are included.
随着宠物主人对自身饮食及其对健康的影响愈发关注，他们自然而然地对自己的动物伙伴吃什么以及这可能如何影响宠物健康更感兴趣。许多人正在探索标准商业宠物食品的替代品，一些人还向兽医寻求建议。小型动物营养是一个不断变化的领域。兽医10年前所学的知识可能不再是可靠的建议。本文探讨了传统商业宠物食品以及替代食品和饮食发展背后的一些原因。它对一些传统观念以及当前市场上的一些流行假设提出了质疑。目的是为兽医提供一些平衡的信息，以便为客户提供营养建议，并开始形成新的观点，或者至少提出新的问题。文中还包括了为狗狗制定自制饮食的指导方针。
