Like humans, cats and dogs need to eat right to stay healthy. Follow this guide to help keep your pet's weight under control.
An average adult 10-pound cat should eat about 275 calories a day. Ill or injured cats may need more.
Natural feeding cycle includes 12-20 small meals a day. Food can be available at all times, but portions can be limited. Water should always be available.
Overweight cats can be helped to lose weight by providing less food in their bowls throughout the day, serving less-tasty food and avoiding table scraps.
Vegetarian diets can lead to "harmful deficiences" in many nutrients. But a small amount of fiber may be useful.
Cats are indeed more finicky about their food. Owners should ensure that their cat's preferred foods contain enough nutrients.
Taste and texture are important. New food should be gradually mixed with familiar food.
