II. Read the text and say which part of the text states that: a) you should read the package carefully; b) Mars produces the most popular fast foods in major European countries; c) before

going to a shop you should estimate age, activity, weight and breed of your dog or a cat.

How to Choose Food for Your Pet Correctly?

(1) European countries including Russia hold the second place in the world (the first is the USA) for the number of domestic animals. However, in Russia only 3% of owners feed their pets with fast food and only 2% — with canned goods. At the same time in such developed countries as En­gland and Germany this proportion exceeds 50%. The most popular in major European countries are fast foods made by Mars (Pedigree, Chappi, Whiskas and Kitekat).

(2) You love your cat or your dog and of course you want to treat it to some new dishes instead of boring fish or porridge. Pedigree and Chappi, Friskas and Royal Canin, Whiskas and Kitekat! But before going to a shop and buyind food for your pet, think for a while.

(3) First of all, estimate age, activity, weight and breed of your dog or cat. And of course estimate its health and psychical status. Don't forget about its individual tastes.

(4) Secondly, one should know that all fast food in gen­eral is well balanced. The secret is in technology and com­pounding. That's why we advise to buy food of famous trade­mark quality.

(5) Next, while choosing a food, read the package care­fully. On every packet, box or can you will find information on food components, chemical composition, an instruction for feeding, assigning the necessary amount of food for a dog or cat of certain weight. However, the producer's rec­ommendations are an average value. Only your personal ex­perience will help you to determine the exact daily amount of food and the optimal frequency of feeding for your pet Some more advice: you have selected the food for your pet. And your animal likes it. Be consistent and don't experi­ment. There's no need to use several foods of different trade­marks at the same time.

So then, be a professional while selecting a food for your pets as we are responsible for those we have tamed and feed.
