Dr. Susan Nelson, a veterinarian and assistant professor of clinical sciences at Kansas State University, said there are several guidelines to follow when feeding your pet to ensure that it maintains good health.
Just as the average size of humans continues to grow larger, the average size of our pets are growing too.
