Are they being fed correctly?
We often wonder in our clinical practice if pet owners are feeding their pets correctly. The causes of extreme thinness or obesity
may be due to poor adjustment between the energy requirements (ER) and the food ration (R) or to incorrectly providing it.
The pet’s feeding regime, any possible changes to said regime, and the pet’s environment (vacation periods in open areas, presence of other pets, elderly people, or children, the owner’s health, etc.), should be reflected in the animal’s medical records. Various factors can affect the frequency and quantity of food offered.
