Most pet foods provide owners with guidance on how much, and sometimes how often they should feed their dog or cat. The amount of food a pet needs is a function of the energy content of the food and the [[Energy - Nutrition|energy requirement]] of the pet. Feeding guides should be used as starting point to estimate how much food to offer. Because energy requirements differ among animals, and can also vary within a cat or dog over time, the exact amount to feed must be tailored according to the needs of the individual.
