Daily and monthly feeding recommendations

Our feeding tables show the feeding guide for petgood cat food for adult cats. The recommended consumption depends on your cat's body weight and activity level (i.e. Inactive/Indoor or Active/Outdoor). Remember that these are just guidelines - you might have to adjust the amount up or down as there are multiple factors affecting your cat's energy need. Always make adjustments depending on your cat's body condition.

The feeding advice is based on a normal energy requirement for your cat. The body condition of your cat is the guidance to the actual feeding amount. When needed, you can give more or less in order to keep your cat in optimal condition. It is advised to divide the daily amount of food in two servings or more, preferebly in any type of slow-feeder to encourage them to eat smaller amounts each serving. Be sure you provide your cat enough drinking water.

Monthly food consumption

If following the daily feeding recommendation above, the monthly consumption of petgood adult food will be according to the table below.

Body Condition Score

We also want to emphasise the importance of keeping an eye on your cat's weight and body condition on a regular basis, and refer to the Body Condition Score. This tool has been developed by WSAVA, the World Small Animal Veterinary Association, to help cat owners check their cat's body condition. Read more in this article and check your cat on the scale!
