As you strive to provide adequate food portions for your dog, you should consider his age. Specifically, you are only expected to feed your dog frequently when he is still a puppy. Because puppies have a fast metabolism, you are allowed to feed them up to four times a day. This is different from adult dogs that are fed 2-3 times a day at regular intervals. Besides, puppies have a short digestive system and small urinary bladder. Thus they need to go potty frequently. At this stage in your dog’s life, you as a pet parent need to housetrain your puppy so you won’t have to clean up after him. To do this, set a frequent and regular interval to go to the potty area. Be consistent in bringing your puppy to the assigned area until he is house trained. So even if your puppy is in a crate or a similar enclosure, you can be sure that he will not make a mess inside.
Consult your veterinarian Louisville KY, the Evergreen Animal Hospital before making any changes to your pet’s diet.
