Feeding Facts

PetSmart

Feeding the right amount of food is important to your dog's health. Your dog's age, breed, current weight and activity level are all factors to consider when determining how much to feed. Check with your vet and read the food package carefully for recommended feeding guidelines.

Feeding Faux Pas
It doesn't take long to get into a bad habit, so avoid these common feeding mistakes from the start.

Don't let dogs free feed; offer measured portions at the same times each day.

Don't feed too much at once; multiple smaller portions are healthier than one large portion.

Avoid feeding people food or table scraps, which can cause stomach upset and lead to begging.
