CanlıDostumHow much food, how many meals? Keep a record.
Good nutrition is the base of healthy weight, coat, digestion and energy. CanlıDostum logs meals, food type and portion, and shows them next to weight and activity.
Who fed what, and when?
When several people feed the pet, meals get mixed up and dinner can be served twice.
After a food change, it is hard to remember which food caused an upset stomach.
- The same meal was given twice
- Problems after a food change were not noted
- Treats got out of control
- Puppy or kitten meal count was not adjusted
