Excessive calorie consumption is an important factor for obesity in cats. One way to prevent overfeeding your pet is to measure how much pet food should be given daily.
From just leaving food available at all times, gradually transition to feedings that are scheduled. You cannot monitor how much your pet eats if you provide him with a bowl of food that is bottomless. It might be pretty convenient at the start, but it is obesity’s one leading cause.
When transitioning from free-feeding, make your cats accustomed to the routine by giving smaller, scheduled meals that are much more frequent and announcing when it is already time to eat. You can also use an automatic feeder. The device is designed to release measured portions of food at pre-determined intervals.
Individual food bowls can also help lessen the stress during mealtimes particularly if there are several cats around. Cats have strong guarding issues and they like to eat alone.
If you have concerns about your pet’s diet or nutritional needs, contact your animal hospital Dahlonega, GA.
