Important Notes
- •These are guidelines, not rules. Adjust based on your dog's body condition, weight trends, and vet recommendations.
- •Treats count! Reduce meal portions by 10-20% if giving regular treats. Calming treats should be factored into daily calories.
- •Weight management: Overweight dogs have 2x higher anxiety risk. Monitor body condition and adjust portions accordingly.
- •Transition slowly: Change food amounts gradually over 7-10 days to avoid digestive upset, which can increase anxiety.
- •Individual variation: Metabolism varies by breed, age, and health status. Some dogs need 20% more or less than calculated amounts.
