• Give the amount of food recommended by your veterinary team
• Give several meals a day
• Do not feed anything other than the recommended food
You can see below the calorie intake of certain foods for your animal vs humans (the calorie intake is higher than you might imagine).
• Give only low-calorie treats and in small amounts (no more than 10% of the dog’s daily calorie intake)
Be sure to schedule at least one play session with your cat every day. This can involve stalking or chasing objects, or learning commands or tricks. Keep switching things up: variety will sustain your cat’s interest !
• Increase physical exercise
• Use an interactive feeder bowl
• Use a cat tree and toys
If your pet is begging or seems overly hungry, you can add water to its kibble. After consuming water with its meal, your cat will feel more satiated. Alternatively, your animal health technician may recommend adding canned food to your pet’s diet, in which case you will need to recalculate its daily ration.
