Feeding practices Bad:
Cats of all ages are at risk by the owners of what is known as ad libitum feeding practices of your cat when it allows an unlimited amount of food whenever they want. This is most common food is made to dry food as soon as the offer on the set is empty, it recharges automatically.

I am an avid lover of pets and my wife and I have had several pets throughout our years. We are especially fond of dogs, and we have a 12 year old Dalmatian (our 3rd) and a “mutt” that we rescued when someone threw him away to die in a vacant field. He found us, nearly starved to death, and weighed about 2 pounds.
After severe bouts of mange and severe dehydration, and over 1,000.00 in veterinarian bills, we saved the little guys life, and he is one of the best, if not the best, dogs we have ever had and today is a muscular, fit, and firm 70 pound best friend.
After finishing my MBA, which at middle age was not easy, I decided to keep the research work ethics that I acquired, and devote about two hours each night in understanding the health benefits of supplementation for both humans and pets and how they might strengthen our, as well as our pets, immune system in a pre-emptive approach to health rather than a reactionary approach.
Both of my daughters are avid cat lovers, and asked me to help them with health concerns and challenges with their cats.
I am not a veterinarian nor claim to be, just a lover of pets that loves to research and pass on some knowledge that might be helpful, or at least stimulating to the thought process.
Several of the articles that I have written can be found on my website, Liquid Vitamins & Minerals for Humans & Pets – http://www.liquid-vitamins-minerals-humans-pets.com/
Puppy does not eat the dish, but he eats when food is on the floor?
My wife and I got a new puppy 2 weeks (almost 14 weeks old now). So far so good in terms of intrusion, games, etc., but the only thing that can not understand is their eating habits. He will not eat food from your plate, but if I spoon a little on the ground next to the plate, he'll eat. They also eat my hand, and actually eat the dish of the night 're really hungry. We tried to avoid feeding him through the floor and the hand for 1 day, then just lead to eating nothing at all. I also tried 3 different bowls and dishes. He tried to wash each with dishsoap, and also without soap (just hot water). I once managed to eat the dish after dish washing soap-free, but the next day, tried to do the same and would not eat the plate again. Ideas? We want to be strict with your diet, and prefers not to cut meat or eggs in their meal. Thank you.
Leave the bowl with food in it. Sure he knows where he is, and always have fresh water available. Do not worry "hunger" – Dogs are smarter than that. Eat at the plate when it is ready. Otherwise, go ahead and continue to make him eat off the floor. What is the problem with it?
