feeding Tips

Nourish a Healthy Life Style

  • Avoid feeding table scraps and snacks
  • Stick to the recommended daily feeding guide - it can be useful to weigh out the amount at the beginning of the day, to avoid accidental overfeeding
  • Divide the daily allowance into several meals for the most efficient weight loss
  • Keep your pet in another room when preparing or eating your own meals
  • If you have several pets, feed them separately
  • Don't leave any food lying around
  • Make sure you have enough of the recommended food for holidays and, if you're going away, give clear feeding instructions to the person looking after your pet
  • Introduce the new food gradually over a 7-day period by mixing your pet's former food with increasing proportions of the new food, until only the new food is being fed

Feeding tips for lifelong health

  • Your pet is unique: Their nutrition plan should be, too. Ask your veterinarian about what food amount is ideal for your pet’s lifestage and health condition, so you can ensure your pet is getting the nutrition they need for lifelong health.
  • Ease into better health: Make sure the transition to a new food is easy for your pet. Each day, replace a little of the old food with a little of the new food, increasing the amount being replaced each day. After a week, eliminate the old food completely.
  • Eliminate free feeding: Instead of leaving food out all the time, feed your pet at designated times throughout the day. Controlling when and how much your pet eats can help them stick to the weight management program your veterinarian recommended.
