There are portion comparisons you can use, and they're all on your body!<br /><br />1. Serving of Fruit or Vegetables is the size of your fist<br />2. Serving of Meat is the size of your palm<br />3. Serving of snack is a handful<br />4. Serving of condiment is the size of your thumb<br /><br />The best way to control your pet's eating habits is to refer to the portion suggestions on the back of the bag. <br /><br />For you, a good general rule of thumb is to eat more whole foods than processed foods, so that you have less additives in your diet!<br /><br />Look for the phrase "Complete and Balanced" on your pet's food, because that will ensure that it has the right mix of protein, macro and micronutrients that your pet needs!<br /><br />Look at the ingredients on your pet's food, and make sure that one of the top three ingredients is an animal protein. <br /><br />Cats are obligate carnivores, and they should not eat dog food. This means they derive their protein from animals only, whereas dogs can get their protein from animals and plants. <br /><br />Make sure you consider your pet's life stage and lifestyle when it comes to picking the best food for your pet. <br /><br />Rebecca-Louise's Facebook Fan Page: http://www.facebook.com/rebeccalouisefitness<br /><br />Produced by Gabe Evans<br />Associate Producer: Faris Jaclyn, Matt Gill
