Feeding Guides
This section is part of Pet Food

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 requirement of the animal. Feeding guides should be used as a starting point to estimate how much food to offer. Because energy requirements differ among animals, and can also vary for an individual cat or dog over time, the exact amount to be fed must be tailored according to the needs of the individual.
