Same as above. I like them to eat before they go home, from 3pm onwards, but obviously depends on the animals recovery.

Once dogs are more on their feet, been out for a wee etc, and when cats seem more awake and mooching around in their kennels.

We feed wet i/d for both cats and dogs. If they aren't too into that then we used to feed cooked chicken but have since been buying tins of chicken applaws as it's easier.

We tend to feed sensitivity or gastro intestinal. I judge each animal separately. With dogs I tend to take them for a wander around yard once they are standing and not wobbly, I then feed them after. Cats I tend to just wait until they are mooching around their kennel and are alert enough to eat.

I like to try and get all my animals fed before they go home from 3pm onwards. It usually is recovery dependent, once they are up and about and not falling into their bowl! I feed them kitten / puppy food, small amount - ideally would feed a more bland diet, but practice usually want to open a dry bag to use for hospital patients.
