nutrition impact pet behaviour?</span><br>
Generally speaking, pets who have inadequate diets are often listless, irritable
and show physical signs of malnourishment such as a dull coat and eyes, skin
problems and are more prone to sickness.<br>
It is well-known that additives, like sugar, that are contained in many well-known
pet food brands, have a direct impact on the behaviour of animals in a similar
way to that which is experienced in humans.<br>
Behaviours exhibited typically include a period of hyperactivity shortly after
ingesting the sugar-laden food - the "sugar high" followed by lethargy - the
"sugar slump".<br>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><span class="copy"><span class="boldcopy"><a name="2"></a>What
behaviours are attributable to pet nutrition?</span><br>
Although some dog breeds have a greater propensity for aggressive behaviour,
responsible pet ownership plays a very important role in creating optimum conditions
to develop a happy, healthy, socially well-adjusted animal.<br>
A dog that is exclusively fed with pet food brands that are high in sugars,
additives and other preservatives will experience hyperactivity. A less-than-optimum
diet, coupled with a lack of adequate exercise, that is, at least 4 hours walking
a day, will create a situation in which the animal is unable to expend excess
energy and will become frustrated. This is the circumstance in which aggressive
behaviour is likely to be exhibited.<br>
Responsible pet ownership includes providing proper nutrition, training, exercise,
love and socialisation, health care and general maintenance. All these factors
will positively impact on the behaviour of your dog.<br>
A well-balanced diet, including foods that are as close to natural as possible
with minimal additives is one of the ways to help your pet live a happy and
healthy life in harmony with its human family.<br>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><span class="copy"> <span class="boldcopy"><a name="3"></a>What
can dog owners do to check that that their pet is eating a healthy diet?</span><br>
Owners can prepare foods for their pets themselves by following the correct
meat and vegetable ratios. Or they can look for brands that are free from food
additives or check with your vet for the best pet food varieties.<br>
This is the best way to ensure that your pet is receiving the correct nutritional
requirements by choosing brands that are free from behavioural altering additives
and support commercially prepared brands by adding 1/3 to 1/2 raw vegetable
content at every meal.</span></font></p>
