Although each dog is unique, the best practise is to just follow the directions on the package of dog food.

Dogs should be fed twice a day, according to the American Kennel Club, with portion sizes dependent on your dog's breed, size, age, and health condition.

For example, Zignature dog food recommends feeding a puppy nearly twice as much as an adult dog since puppies are more lively and need more nutrients to grow large and strong.

In addition, pregnant dogs need more food than adult dogs.    It's advisable to consult your veterinarian to establish portion sizes and your dog's optimum feeding regimen.

Keep an eye on your puppy: According to the FDA, your dog's diet might put them at risk for heart disease.

Many dog breeds may need three or four 15-minute walks each day, however if your dog is in excellent condition, longer walks or treks may be beneficial.

All canines, according to Shallowford Animal Hospital, need regular physical exercise.
