16 Tex. Admin. Code § 91.107 - Standards of Care-Feeding
(a) Dogs and cats
must be fed at least once each day, except as otherwise might be required to
provide adequate veterinary care. The food must be uncontaminated, wholesome,
palatable, and of sufficient quantity and nutritive value to maintain the
normal condition and weight of the animal. The diet must be appropriate for the
individual animal's age and condition.
(b) Food receptacles must be used for dogs
and cats, must be readily accessible to all dogs and cats, and must be located
so as to minimize contamination by excreta and pests, and be protected from
rain, sleet and snow. Feeding pans must either be made of a durable material
that can be easily cleaned and sanitized or be disposable. If the food
receptacles are not disposable, they must be kept clean and must be sanitized
in accordance with §91.109(b). Sanitization is achieved by using one of
the methods described in §91.109(b)(3). If the food receptacles are
disposable, they must be discarded after one use. Self-feeders may be used for
the feeding of dry food. If self-feeders are used, they must be kept clean and
must be sanitized in accordance with §91.109(b). Measures must be taken to
ensure that there is no molding, deterioration, or caking of feed.
