Give Your Pet Proper Nutrition
How Often and How Much Should You Feed Your PetSo, how much should you feed your pet? You should consult your veterinarian for the best answer to this question based on the size and variety of cat or dog. A general rule of thumb, however, is to resist making your pet's food readily available during an entire day. Establish a set "mealtime" for your pet. |

Obesity, the most common nutritional disease in cats and dogs, can shorten an animal's lives significantly. While they are alive they tend to have more chronic health problems such as heart and respiratory ailments that simply result from poor nutrition. Too much weight also puts a strain on legs and back muscles as well as promotes the onset of premature arthritis -- all of which makes it harder for the pet to get adequate exercise.
