How much food should I feed my pet?

Asked 6 months ago
The amount of food to feed your pet depends on various factors such as age, weight, breed, activity level, and overall health. It is important to provide a balanced diet that meets their specific nutritional needs. Start with the recommended portion size mentioned on the food packaging, but also consider your pet's individual requirements. Gradually adjust the portion to maintain a healthy weight, ensuring they neither gain nor lose too much. Regularly monitor their body condition and consult your veterinarian for personalized guidance. Avoid overfeeding, as it can lead to obesity and related health issues. Additionally, remember to provide fresh water at all times, and consider dividing their daily food into smaller meals throughout the day for better digestion.
