Adult dogs are typically fed two meals a day (morning and evening). Puppies need more frequent feedings (3–4 times a day) since they have smaller stomachs and higher energy needs. . Use measured portions based on your dog’s size, age, and activity level to maintain a healthy weight. Always provide access to fresh water

Most adult cats do well with two meals per day (for example, morning and evening). Kittens require more frequent feeding (about 3–4 small meals a day) to support their growth. Monitor your cat’s body condition and avoid overfeeding, as free-feeding can lead to obesity. Ensure clean, fresh water is available at all times.

Select a species-appropriate, balanced diet that’s formulated for your pet’s life stage and size. For example, choose puppy or kitten food for growing pets, adult maintenance food for grown animals, and senior formulas for older pets. Look for labels that say “complete and balanced” (meeting AAFCO nutritional standards) to ensure the food has all necessary nutrients. Consider your pet’s individual needs (breed, activity level, any allergies or sensitive stomach issues) and ask your veterinarian for guidance if you’re unsure. Avoid switching foods abruptly and introduce new diets gradually to prevent stomach upset.

Be cautious with human foods, as many are unsafe for pets. Foods like chocolate, grapes/raisins, onions, garlic, and anything containing xylitol (a sweetener) are toxic to both dogs and cats. Fatty scraps or too much dairy can upset your pet’s digestion. If you want to share, offer only pet-safe options in moderation (for example, plain cooked lean meat or certain fruits/veggies like carrot or apple slices – without seeds or cores). In general, it’s best to use approved pet treats instead of table scraps, and always consult your vet if you’re unsure about a specific food.

Dogs bark to communicate, but excessive barking may be due to boredom, anxiety, or territorial behavior. First, identify the trigger—lack of exercise, strangers, or seeking attention. Provide adequate daily exercise and mental stimulation. Avoid scolding, which can worsen barking. Instead, reward quiet behavior and teach commands like “quiet.” If the barking persists, consult a trainer or behaviorist for professional guidance and tailored solutions.
