FAQs
How many times a day should I feed my dog?
Most adult dogs do well with 2 meals per day. Puppies need 3–4 smaller meals. Senior dogs often prefer 2 smaller meals to avoid bloat.
Is my dog overweight?
Feel your dog ribs — you should feel them easily without pressing hard. If you cannot feel the ribs, your dog may be overweight. Reduce food by 10–15% and add daily exercise.
Can I free-feed my dog?
Free-feeding (leaving food out all day) works for some dogs but leads to obesity in many. Measured, timed meals give you better control over your dog weight and health.
