ASPCA Pet Care: 10 Tips For Feeding Your Dog

Adult dogs require sufficient nutrients to meet energy needs and to maintain and repair body tissues. The amount you feed your adult dog should be based on his or her size and energy output. Activity levels vary dramatically between pets, and will play an important role in determining caloric intake.

As a responsible dog owner, one of the most common pitfalls you’ll have to watch out for is overfeeding. Attempts to shower our dogs with love by means of big meals and tons of tasty treats are sweet, but misguided. In dogs, as with humans, extra weight can lead to health problems. Be sure to indulge your four-legged friend with affection, not food—and read our Top 10 Tips For Feeding Your Adult Dog.

Is there any hope for a cat with severe kidney failure? she's only 4 yrs. old. We just spent over $650. at the vet to find out she's dying. Now we can't afford to do anything else but don't want to watch her suffer, what can we do? This is too incredibly sad & we just lost our dog last Jan.07

We run a dog farm sort of thing, and we own a lot of dogs. We train them and everything, and I know how to feed dogs. I`m teaching my daughter how to now.
Jenny, I feel really bad for you, it`s such a dilemma for you! As I read that, I imagined that, and I began to cry. That`s so sad!
Well, I`ve really got to get my daughter somewhere, it`s her birthday, so...bye!
