How many times a day should I be feeding my dog? - Rondout Valley Veterinary Associates

I would suggest feeding your dog at least twice a day. Feeding them more than once a day helps to keep their metabolism up and helps prevent weight gain. Puppies, being in their younger life stages, should be fed at least three times a day.

How are my cat’s skin allergies treated? - Loch Haven Veterinary Hospital

Well that depends on what's causing it. We may do a food trial if it's food related, we may do some steroids if we need to, or some antihistamines, and if it's just a nasty infection that's causing some of that, we're going to do some shampoos and mousses and some antibiotics.

How will my cat’s allergies be diagnosed? - Loch Haven Veterinary Hospital

We're going to look at the skin, do a full physical exam, and just give them a good one once over. We're going to do some skin scraping, some skin cytology, and just look and see if there's anything that we see abnormal besides allergens.
