How to Properly Feed Your Dog

By Cat and Dog Our Friends – Updated on May 9, 2025

A healthy diet is essential to your dog’s well-being. Unfortunately, many owners still make common feeding mistakes simply due to lack of reliable information.

1. Choose a balanced diet

Your dog needs high-quality proteins, healthy fats, fiber, and appropriate vitamins and minerals. Choose premium kibble or a vet-approved home-prepared meal plan.

2. Don’t feed table scraps

While it may seem generous, feeding leftovers often leads to imbalanced meals, digestive issues, or weight gain.

3. Adjust food to age and energy level

Puppies, active adults, and senior dogs all have unique nutritional requirements. Update their meals accordingly as they grow or slow down.

4. Keep them hydrated

Ensure your dog always has access to clean, fresh water—especially during warm weather or after physical activity.
