Companion Animal Diet and Nutrition

Dear Colleagues,

The nutrition of dogs and cats it of utmost importance for animal health. Unbalanced diets, problems in feed hygiene and safety, or the intake of toxic food components can cause severe diseases in companion animals. On the other hand, dietetic measures can significantly support disease prevention and therapy. The diet also plays an important role in healthy animals, not only to meet the nutritional requirements: dietary factors interact with the intestinal microbiota or the immune system—for instance, nutrition promotes health in various ways.

This Special Issue will focus on the relevance of diet and nutrition for dogs and cats. Submissions are welcome in all related fields as described above. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions on the topic or the general submission process of this Special Issue.

I am very much looking forward to your contributions.

Kind regards,

Prof. Dr. Nadine Paßlack
Guest Editor
