Getting proper nutrition is important for pets that are battling serious illnesses like cancer. The nourishment that they can get will help them heal and repair body tissues. Studies have shown that giving a healthy meal during the early stage of cancer can help in the recovery of sick animals.
A veterinarian or veterinary nutritionist can give valuable advice on the proper diet for pets battling cancer. So it’s best to consult them before making any changes to your pet’s usual meal.
For example, pets that have ideal weight will not require any changes in their diet. On the other hand, those pets that lose significant weight due to cancer may have to undergo diet modification. The vet may advise a special diet. And to help gain the lost weight, the vet can also advise you to feed your pet more frequently.
