Purchase your essential dog care items such as ID tags, a collar and a 6 foot leash, food and water bowls, food, dog toys, a crate and bedding, and basic grooming tools. Just before you bring your dog adoption home, take him for a walk to tire him out a little.
1 Limiting the amount of saturated fats you eat to less than 7 percent of your total daily calories. That means if you need about 2,000 calories a day, less than 140 calories (or 16 grams) should come from saturated fats.  Limiting the amount of trans fats to less than 1 percent of your total daily calories.
So the rest of your calories are going to come from fat. In this theoretical case â 100 grams of protein and 50 grams of carb per day â youâll need one hundred and fifty five grams of fat per day to get up to 2000 calories, a pretty reasonable level. Yes, I said a hundred and fifty five grams of fat per day. At 9 calories per gram, thatâs 1395 calories worth. What if you need a somewhat lower caloric intake? Say, 1700 per day? Youâll still need 122 grams of fat to get up to that level. By the way, in our first example, youâd be getting 69% of your calories from fat; in the second, 67%.
