🥣 Nutrition & feeding

Right portions, right ingredients, and how to read what's really in the bowl.

🩺 Vet-aware guidance · Last reviewed August 2026

Quick answer: Feed to your pet's ideal weight, not their current one, and split the daily amount across meals. Treats should stay under about 10% of daily calories.

Good nutrition is mostly about the right amount of a complete, balanced food - not chasing a single 'best' brand.

Portion to your pet's ideal weight and activity level, and divide it into two meals for most adult dogs and cats. Keep treats to roughly 10% of daily calories so they don't unbalance the diet.

Read the label for a named protein near the top and a life-stage statement (puppy/kitten, adult, or all life stages). Fresh and dehydrated foods can be great - just make sure the overall diet is complete.

Add your pet's weight and goals to their profile and we'll steer picks toward what fits.
