Why feeding the right amount matters
Proper nutrition plays a vital role in your dog’s health and well-being. Giving the right portion every day is one of the simplest ways to protect them.
- Weight management: overfeeding leads to obesity, which raises the risk of joint pain, diabetes and heart disease.
- Preventing health problems: different breeds and individual dogs have different dietary needs.
- Energy and activity: active dogs need more calories than dogs that spend most of the day resting.
- Budget: knowing the right amount avoids waste and unnecessary food costs.
- Bonding: a consistent feeding routine builds trust between you and your dog.
Tips for feeding your dog
- Split the daily amount into two meals for adult dogs and three or four for young puppies.
- Count treats as part of the daily total.
- Weigh your dog regularly and adjust the portion if they gain or lose weight.
- Always provide fresh water.
