Diet and its components can affect animals behaviour in a number of ways. Thought should be given to the way a breed/species would naturally behave if left to fend for themselves to satisfy their dietary and hunting requirements. For modern pets, there are many ways to prolong the time spent and energy used to attain food and encourage good behaviour.

Several aspects of feeding can have an effect on behaviour:
 +
Dietary composition: Nutrient composition, palatability, method of preservation (raw, dried, moist).
 +
Timing of access: Meal-feeding, on demand feeding, ad-lib feeding.
 +
Type of access: Bowl, simulated foraging (activity feeding)

Of these, dietary composition may be the least important as long as the diet is nutritionally balanced.
