You love your parakeet and understand that she needs you to help her stay healthy. What should you feed her to make sure this happens?

Your pet needs you to think about all the food options that are available to her and determine which will offer her the right nutrients to keep her body strong. Her veterinarian can help you determine what foods to give her in addition to the portion sizes. This will likely mean giving your pet a base food to cover most of her nutritional needs, like a high-quality pellet option. You can also offer your pet select fresh produce items that have been washed and cut up, some seeds as these are often a favorite snack, and items with calcium, like cuttle bones or crushed up hard-boiled eggs with shells. For more information, please contact your local London, ON veterinarian.
