How Much Should You Feed Your Dog?

NUNU Insights


The ideal amount of food for your dog depends on various factors, including size, age, and activity level. Commercial raw food brands often provide feeding guidelines as a starting point. However, it's essential to monitor your dog's weight and adjust portions accordingly.


The Importance of Weight Management

Excess weight can lead to serious health issues in dogs. To prevent this, avoid overfeeding and consider your dog's activity level when determining portion sizes. More active dogs will require more calories, while less active dogs need fewer.


Food Quality and Quantity

The quality of your dog's food can significantly impact the amount they need. High-quality foods packed with nutrients often require smaller portions compared to lower-quality options filled with fillers. Consider supplementing your dog's diet with vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids to enhance nutrient intake without increasing calories.


Avoid Over-Rewarding with Food

Many pet owners use food as a reward, which can lead to overfeeding. To maintain a healthy weight, consider alternative rewards such as toys, playtime, or walks. If you do use food treats, opt for high-quality, low-calorie options.


Remember, a healthy weight is crucial for your dog's overall well-being. By carefully monitoring food intake, choosing high-quality food, and providing alternative forms of reward, you can help your dog maintain a healthy weight and enjoy a long, happy life.


To learn more about managing your dog's diet and maintaining a healthy weight, readers are invited to explore, "Your Dog's Health" by Franco Cavaleri. The book offers expert guidance on feeding, weight management, and overall health to ensure your dog lives a long and happy life.
