In the French pet food market, there has been a notable growth in demand due to increasing awareness among pet owners regarding their animals' nutritional requirements. Homemade diets may not cater to the unique nutritional needs of distinct pets, and certain human foods, such as raisins, grapes, and chocolates, can pose health risks. For instance, methylxanthines in chocolates can lead to diarrhea, cardiac arrhythmias, convulsions, polyuria, and even death in dogs. Macadamia nuts are similarly hazardous to cats and dogs, causing depression, vomiting, muscle spasms, heat, and tachycardia. Despite the use of organic and vegetarian ingredients in homemade diets, nutritional deficiencies in pets remain a concern..
