My puppy prefers wet food. How much wet and dry should I feed?

Hello there! Yes, it is perfectly fine to feed the foods separately just be mindful of portion control as Daisy is still a growing puppy. I would recommend half of the recommended amounts of each of the foods. Beagles are a breed that we tend to see frequently struggling with obesity, so being mindful of this at an early age is great for Daisy's long term health. Hopefully this helps! I would be more than happy to consult with you regarding any additional questions you may have!

The best plan would be to weigh your cat and use the info on the packets to work out her daily intake if she was on just try or just wet food. If you give her half of the wet amount and half of the dry it will work out as a daily ration. I would leave the dry out for her then feed the wet nice and fresh once or twice a day.

The bags usually over estimate the amount of food animals need. I would recommend feeding about 75% of what's on the bag/instructions IF that's the only thing your cat is eating. If they are eating half wet and half dry, decrease the amount proportionally. Another (easier) approach, is to ask your veterinarian for a recommended calorie count for each cat. Most adult cats need about 200 calories per day and young, intact cats need anywhere from 2-3 times this amount.

I would not be concerned about this change from wet to dry food as long as she is eating and is not too thin. You will need to refer to the bag of dog food you are feeding to see how much you should be feeding her. Every food has a different amount of calories per cup of food so it is very hard to make a blanket statement that a dog 10# should be eating X amount of food. It depends on the food. So check the bag and feed her according to their recommendations for her weight.

It's fine to mix together wet food and dry food for Buddy. Each brand of food has a different daily recommended allotment, so read the instructions on his food to know how much to feed him. Best of luck.

The recommended amount is usually written on your bag and can of dog food, because every food has a different kcal amount. However for such a small dog my guess would be around 1/2 cup or can daily, give or take. And it is perfectly fine to feed him dry and wet canned food daily. Best wishes and take care.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Hiro. What a cutie! First, make sure that you are feeding him puppy food. Then I would start with what your dog food recommends for his weight. Each food varies in the amount of calories per cup so the feeding amounts will vary. He will roughly need about 1/4-1/2 cup per day. Because he is so small, it is important to have food available to him at all times. Very small puppies can have difficulty regulating their blood sugar levels. Their blood sugar can drop too low if they go too long without food. I hope this information helps!
