Your Dog Feeding Guide

Every dog is different, but there are general dog feeding guides that we can apply to any breed or mix. 

   

Puppies need smaller portions, given more frequently and with a higher calorie content. 

Older dogs need more fat and protein than younger dogs. 

Sensitive stomaches might benefit from limited ingredient diets. 

When you are looking for the right food for your dog, it helps to pay attention to certain aspects of them. 

Their breed, age and any medical issues are a great place to start. 

From there, just make sure you transition between foods slowly, and feed them in amounts and frequencies that match their age and stage of life.
