Thanks for using Boop by Petco! It seems like you are doing a great job with his feeding so I would not change the amount at all and he does not need to eat all day. Having the amounts separated like now is a good idea. Just make sure to go by the feeding guidelines on the back of the food bag or can. You are already doing a good job if Darwin’s body condition is 3 in a 1-5 scale so keep up the good work. Good luck and have a great day!

Hi Stella! I would be glad to answer your questions :-) Pets can be obese for a couple of reasons. One reason can be free-feeding, but it also be due to a lack of exercise, and feeding your pet lots of human food and treats. It's not recommended to feed your pet human food unless for a specific medical reason (i.e. boiled white meat chicken with no bones for GI upset) because it adds extra calories to their diet which they don't need. Also, many human foods are toxic to dogs and cats. It's not recommended to free fed dogs, they should get two meals a day. As for cats, cats tend to be grazers, some people do leave food out all day for them to eat their leisure. This is fine to do with cats who are a healthy weight, and you can switch to scheduled feeding if they are obese. It is true free feeding can lead to obesity, but you can manage this with cats by not leaving a huge amount of food out all the time. You can measure out their daily amount, and they can eat at their leisure

Hi, thabks for using Boop by Petco! You can try doing smaller meals more frequently. Or try the interactive feeders, where the cats have to work for the food. They also make food dispensers that are set on timers. Then you can set the timers for small meals through out the day. Then hopefully they will stare at the feeder and not you! Good luck!

Oscar looks so comfortable! My question is does Oscar eat too fast? If so I would recommend trying this: https://www.amazon.com/Catit-Senses-2-0-Food-Tree/dp/B00D3NI31Y/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1519878577&sr=8-7&keywords=cat+maze With this you would put food in the top part and he has to work the food down to be able to eat it. If you feel he is not eating too fast, he may have a hairball and you can try laxatone or cat lax. This you can get at your local pet store. Otherwise, you can always try introducing wet food and see if that helps decrease the vomiting. If any of these suggestions don't work then I recommend talking to your veterinarian to make sure that nothing else is going on with Oscar. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

It isn't harmful for them to use the same bowl. But, the Pomeranian should be fed a well balanced dog food and the kitten needs a well balanced kitten food as they have different nutritional requirements. There isn't a food that can meet both of their nutritional needs. It is sweet the get along so well.
