How Much Food Your Dog Needs
The quantity of food your dog needs will depend largely on your dog’s size, breed, and age, as well as on how regularly it works out. The key is not to overfeed or undernourish your dog. If ever you’re unsure, ask your veterinarian to evaluate your dog’s diet and nutrition, and body condition, and overall health.
Hydration Essential
Aside from the food, consider their water intake as well. Make sure your dog is constantly well hydrated. This means ensuring that their water bowl is always filled up and replaced daily, so they can go ahead and hydrate whenever they need or want to.
How much – Is Enough
When assessing the size and weight of your dog, considering their body shape is far more important than weight. You need your dog to be lean, which means if you run your fingers firmly over their side and see a defined waist, you should be able to feel their ribs. If that’s not possible, then it’s diet time. Dog obesity is connected to decreased longevity and diseases like osteoarthritis, and it is completely preventable.
