Today is International Croquette Day, and we know they are the favorite food of our furry friends in all their varieties: meat, chicken, fish, and much more. But, how do you choose the ideal croquette size for your pet?
In this #PetTuesday, we'll give you tips to choose the perfect croquette.
Size:
A large breed dog should be given a large croquette, and a small dog, a small-sized one. Similarly for kittens, if they are babies, they are given a different croquette size than when they are spayed or become Seniors.
Why is it important to choose the right one? If we give our dog or cat a larger croquette, their digestion will be slower and require more work. And if you choose the right size, you will help them have better oral health, where it will inhibit tartar formation.
For their oral health?
Of course, by chewing croquettes appropriate for their size and age, they will generate more friction between the croquette and the molars, reducing tartar.
You can add a dental cleaning routine with dental snacks or brushing their teeth.

Age:
Age also plays a role in croquette choice, as babies, with their small muzzles and milk teeth, can injure themselves eating hard or large croquettes. Similarly, senior furry friends, who have weak teeth and gums, also need attention regarding their food and type of croquettes.
The best part is that on our website and at our branches, you'll find different croquettes for all furry friends according to their age, breed, and size. We invite you to check out the offers to find the ideal one for your furry friend.
