Are you accidentally overfeeding your dog?
When your dog’s feeding instructions say 1 cup, that means one level, flat cup. Not a heaping cup, rounded scoop, or cup filled to the brim with a mound on top. It’s also important to use an actual measuring scoop/cup. Those extra handfuls can add up quickly!
Overfeeding can contribute to unnecessary weight gain, joint stress, decreased energy, and other health issues. It’s important to keep your dog at a healthy weight for their longevity.
Measure their food accurately, and adjust portions based on their individual needs, activity level, age, and body condition.
