Species-Specific Nutritional Needs Dogs and cats have fundamentally different nutritional requirements rooted in their evolutionary diets. Dogs are biologically classified as omnivores, capable of deriving nutrition from a mix of animal and plant sources and synthesizing certain nutrients internally.

pH measures how acidic or basic a water based solution is, on a scale where 7 is neutral, lower is acidic and higher is basic.
Pharmacokinetics is the branch of pharmacology that studies how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and eliminates a drug over time, essentially describing what the body does to a drug rather than what the drug does to the body, which is the separate focus of pharmacodynamics. Understanding a drug’s pharmacokinetic profile is essential for determining appropriate
