1. Do not assume all dry food or canned food is the same, even if it is formulated for the same “lifestage.” Ingredients, feeding instructions and caloric content (expressed as kilocalories per kilogram on pet food packages) vary by product. Read directions carefully and ask your veterinarian for advice.
2. Use your pet food’s feeding instructions as a guideline. Your pet may require more or less of a particular food depending on its age, health, environment and activity level. Ask your veterinarian for help.
