The packaging of dry food is usually specified content by weight, and the recommended dosage. But if there are no weights, how to measure the right amount of food to pet does not overeat, but did not stay hungry? There are several ways to measure the dry ingredients.

The pet store you can offer a special measuring cup, which has a division corresponding to a specific weight of each type of food. However, such glasses primarily intended for dog and cat food. Owners of turtles, ferrets and some birds have to leave their situation differently. Of course, such a glass is useful in any case. Ask the seller to weigh his first blank, and then pour the right amount of feedback and make a corresponding mark on the wall.
