Daily Feeding

Age, breed, weight, activity level and other factors have an effect on the amount of food required for your pet. Our feeding guidelines are a good starting point toward your pets’ daily nutritional needs. Make adjustments as necessary in the total amount fed to avoid obesity and help maintain a healthy, proper weight. If you feed more than once per day, simply divide the appropriate daily amount by the number of times you feed per day. (Always keep a bowl of fresh water available to keep your pet hydrated.)
