Multi-Pet Food Split
Split a daily food amount between two pets by body weight.
About Multi-Pet Food Split
When two pets share one daily food amount, each gets a portion proportional to its body weight so the heavier pet receives the larger share. Feeding each pet its weight-scaled separate meal is safer than letting them share a bowl, where one can overeat and the other go short.
Formula

Share = total food x (pet weight / sum of weights)
