How often should I feed my pet?

The frequency at which you feed your pet is a matter of personal preference, but also depends on your pet’s age and lifestyle.

For Dogs:
– Puppies less than 4 months of age: consider 3–4 meals per day
– Puppies 4–6 months of age: consider 2–3 meals per day
– Puppies 6 months and older: consider 2 meals per day
– Toy breed puppies: consider 3–4 meals per day until they are 10–12 months of age

We do not recommend feeding one meal per day or free-choice feeding for large or giant breed dogs because it can lead to stretching in the ligaments that support the stomach. Over time, this will make the stomach more likely to twist if the dog bloats. It is also more difficult to monitor eating habits.

For Cats: Both free-choice feeding and set meal times are acceptable for cats. However, having set meal times allows pet parents to control and monitor portions.
