Printable pet feeding chart: who fed the dog?
A two-week printable feeding chart that answers the question every shared household asks: "Did anyone feed the dog?" Each meal has a box for the time and the initials of whoever fed. There is room for treats, fresh water and notes. Amounts are not printed on it, because how much your pet eats is a matter for you, the food label and your vet.
Pet feeding chart
| Date | Morning (time, initials) | Midday or other (time, initials) | Evening (time, initials) | Treats or extras | Fresh water | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Follow your vet and the food label for what and how much to feed. Write down what happened, not what should have happened.
How to use this chart
Print it, tape it to the fridge or the cabinet where you keep the food, and put a pen next to it. When you feed your pet, write the time and your initials in that meal's box. Use the Treats column for anything extra, and mark Fresh water when you refill the bowl. If a meal is skipped, or your pet only eats part of it, note that in the box or in the notes column.
Why initials matter
In a home with more than one person, the classic mix-up is two people each feeding the same pet, because each assumed the other had not. A box with a time and initials settles it in a second, and it works for a family, for roommates and for a sitter. It also shows a helpful pattern over time: who usually does the morning, and who covers the evening.
Feeding and medication go together
Many pets take their pills with food, so it makes sense to record both at once. If a medication is hidden in a meal, note it in the box and write whether the whole portion was eaten. Then log the dose itself on a medication log or the weekly medication chart, so the record of what was given stays in one place.
Bring it to the vet
Your vet may ask how well your pet has been eating. Two weeks of dated boxes is a clearer answer than "she seems fine". Bring the sheets along with your vet visit checklist. When you go away, give a copy of the chart to your sitter alongside the pet sitter sheet.
Common questions
Can I use this for cats?
Yes. It works for any pet that is fed on a routine. Write "Cat" or the pet's name at the top.
Why does the chart not have an amount column?
How much to feed depends on your pet, the food and your vet's advice. The chart records what happened and who did it, and leaves amounts to the package and your vet.
Should I track water too?
There is a Fresh water box so you can note when the bowl was refilled. If your vet asks you to measure how much your pet drinks, they will tell you how.
