It is crucial to consult your veterinarian for personalized recommendations on how much oatmeal (or any food) is appropriate for your dog.
Here's why:
* Dog size and breed: Different breeds and sizes have different caloric needs.
* Age and activity level: Puppies, senior dogs, and highly active dogs require different amounts of food.
* Overall health: Underlying health conditions may influence your dog's dietary needs.
* Oatmeal preparation: The way you prepare the oatmeal (plain, cooked, with added ingredients) impacts its nutritional value.
A small amount of plain, cooked oatmeal can be a healthy treat for dogs. However, it should never replace a balanced diet.
Please reach out to your vet for guidance on your dog's specific diet. They can assess your dog's individual needs and provide personalized advice.
