What Are the Symptoms and Causes of Cat Allergies?

How Many Meals a Day Should a Dog Eat by Age
Feed by age: puppies need four small meals a day, tapering as they grow; adults do best with two meals for better digestion and weight control; seniors (7+ for small and medium breeds, 5+ for large) need at least two, or three to four if frail.

Why Is My Cat Thin and Unable to Gain Weight?
If a cat eats normally but stays thin, take note — it may be sick. Common causes are internal parasites that steal nutrients, poor gut absorption, high activity (common in kittens), or low-quality grain-heavy kibble.
