Why the Right Diet Matters?
Feeding your dog or cat isn’t just about filling their bowl — it’s about giving them the nutrients they need to thrive. In Singapore, more pet parents are moving towards fresh, biologically appropriate diets to improve their pets’ health, coat condition, and energy levels. But with so many terms like BARF, PMR, and FEDIAF floating around, it can be overwhelming to decide which is best.
Let’s break down the three popular feeding methods so you can make an informed choice for your furry friend.

Which Diet is Right for Your Pet?
Here’s a quick decision guide:
