My dog just got spayed. Should I change her diet or food amount?

Question

My corgi/mini aussie is getting spayed today, and I'm wondering if I should change her diet at all. Normally she gets about a cup of Purina puppy food a day, should I decrease the amount? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 22 days old

Great question! In general, there should be no reason that you would need to change her diet after her spay. She may not be as hungry as usual this evening since she may be sore and still a bit sleepy from the anesthesia, so I would suggest feeding her about half of her normal dinner tonight. Starting the following day, it should be fine for her to go back to her normal amount of food :)
