Maintaining your pet’s ideal weight is the best chance you can give your pet to help them live their longest! Many pet owners focus on what diet to feed and neglect how much they actually feed. In some ways, it is more important how much you feed rather than what. The “best” diet on the planet that is overfed is still malnutrition. With your veterinarians help, pick the best diet, but also have them help figure out how much to feed to maintain ideal body weight. If it were easy, you wouldn’t have 50-60% of dogs and cats overweight. The struggle is real!
