Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about pet care and our services.
The amount of food for an adult dog depends on their size, activity level, and metabolism. Generally, follow the feeding instructions on the dog food packaging and adjust based on your dog's body condition.
Puppies require more frequent feeding and more calories per pound of body weight than adult dogs. For example, puppies 8 to 12 weeks old need four meals a day, while those six months to one year need two meals a day.
Different types of food (dry, wet, raw) have varying caloric densities. Always follow the feeding guidelines provided by the manufacturer and adjust based on your dog's needs.
Larger dogs generally require more food than smaller dogs, but the amount also depends on their activity level and metabolism. Follow breed-specific feeding guidelines if available.
Active dogs need more calories to maintain their energy levels. Adjust the feeding amount based on whether your dog is sedentary, moderately active, or highly active.
Consult your veterinarian for specific feeding instructions if your dog has a health condition. Some conditions may require special diets or feeding schedules.
If your dog is overweight, reduce the portion size and consider a weight management diet. Consult your vet for a tailored plan to help your dog lose weight safely.
If your dog is underweight, increase the portion size and ensure the diet is nutrient-rich. Consult your vet to determine the best approach for weight gain.
Feeding frequency can affect how much you feed. For example, if you feed your dog twice a day, divide the total recommended daily amount into two meals.
Large breed dogs generally require more food than small breed dogs. However, large breed puppies need a diet with lower caloric density to prevent rapid growth-related issues.
Senior dogs may require fewer calories due to a slower metabolism. Adjust the feeding amount based on your senior dog's activity level and body condition.
Very active dogs need more calories to support their energy expenditure. Increase the portion size based on their activity level and consult your vet for guidance.
Less active dogs require fewer calories. Reduce the portion size to prevent weight gain and maintain a healthy body condition.
Dogs recovering from illness may need a special diet or feeding schedule. Consult your vet for specific recommendations based on your dog's condition.
Pregnant and nursing dogs require more calories and nutrients. Increase the feeding amount gradually as the pregnancy progresses and after the puppies are born.
Follow the feeding instructions provided with the special diet. Special diets often have specific caloric and nutrient requirements.
Some medications can affect appetite or metabolism. Consult your vet for feeding recommendations if your dog is on medication.
Growing puppies, especially large breed puppies, need a balanced diet with the right ratio of nutrients. Follow the feeding guidelines for growth and consult your vet if needed.
Dogs prone to bloating may benefit from smaller, more frequent meals. Consult your vet for a feeding schedule that reduces the risk of bloat.
Gradually mix the new food with the old food over a week or more to prevent digestive issues. Start with a small amount of the new food and increase it gradually.
