Chapter 12Pets & Animals

How much should I feed my dog?

Depends on age, weight, activity, and neutered status. The bag guidelines are a starting point — often 20% too much. Adjust based on body condition: you should feel ribs easily but not see them.

Follow-up questions

How many meals a day?

Puppies 3–4, adults 1–2. Never one big meal for large breeds (bloat risk).

Wet or dry food?

Both are fine. Wet is more hydrating; dry is cheaper and better for dental health.
