Start with your pet’s age, size, and activity level. Puppies and kittens, adults, and seniors have different nutritional needs. Look for foods that meet the AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) guidelines, and consider your pet’s specific health issues or dietary needs. Don’t hesitate to consult your vet for personalized advice!

A healthy diet is reflected in your pet’s energy levels, shiny coat, healthy skin, clear eyes, and overall vitality. Regular, well-formed bowel movements are also a good sign. If you’re noticing positive changes in these areas, you’re likely on the right track with their diet.

The amount varies based on your pet’s size, age, and activity level. Most pet food packages have a feeding guide based on weight. It’s a good starting point, but keep an eye on your pet’s body condition and adjust as needed. Your vet can offer the best guidance on maintaining a healthy weight for your pet.

Give it some time; pets may need a few days to adjust to new flavors and textures. If they still refuse to eat, you might need to try a different brand or formula. Mixing a little of their favorite treat into the new food can also help make the transition easier.
