Feeding Tips from Vets

Consistent Meal Times

Feed at the same times each day. Dogs thrive on routine and it helps regulate digestion and energy levels.

🧂

Measure Every Meal

Eyeballing portions leads to overfeeding. Use a measuring cup for kibble and a kitchen scale for raw or wet food.

💧

Fresh Water Always

Always have clean, fresh water available. Hydration is just as important as nutrition for your dog's health.

📈

Adjust Over Time

Revisit portions every few months. Weight changes, seasonal activity shifts, and aging all affect caloric needs.
