Any Q

Dr Leigh from Your Vet Online advises that it is important to ensure your dog's food is both complete and balanced for its stage of life, and if it has any medical issues. It is entirely acceptable to feed your dog a pure kibble diet. Or you can mix their diet up with some cooked or raw meat, fish, vegetables and rice.


Is it cruel to feed a dog once a day?

It is not generally cruel to feed a healthy adult dog once a day occasionally but that meal should be appropriately sized and balanced. Additionally, it's essential to spot any issues with that feeding schedule early on since many dogs don't do well with once-a-day feeding.

What should a dog eat each day?

Most high-quality dog foods recommend approximately 1-1/2 cups per 10kg of body weight per day for smaller breeds, since they require 15-25% more calories per pound than larger breeds. Large and giant breeds are more often fed 1 cup per 10kg.
