Answers to the most common pet nutrition questions
Portion sizes depend on your pet's weight, age, activity level, and the specific food. A general rule: adult dogs need about 2-3% of their body weight in food daily. Cats need about 200-250 calories for a 10lb cat. Always consult your vet for personalized advice and use measuring cups for accuracy.
Yes, but with caution! Safe human foods include plain cooked chicken, carrots, blueberries, pumpkin, and sweet potato. Avoid grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, chocolate, xylitol, and anything heavily seasoned. Treats should make up no more than 10% of your pet's daily calories.
Signs of dehydration include dry gums, loss of skin elasticity (gently pinch the skin on their back — if it doesn't snap back quickly), sunken eyes, lethargy, and excessive panting. Always provide fresh, clean water. In warmer months, add wet food or a splash of bone broth to their meals.
Homemade food gives you control over ingredients and can be excellent when properly balanced. However, it requires careful planning to ensure complete nutrition. Many vets recommend high-quality commercial food as a base, with fresh additions. If you go homemade, consult a veterinary nutritionist.
