Dog Food

How much dog food do I feed my dog?

Several factors can impact not only how much to feed your dog, but also what type of food your dog needs. Maintaining an ideal body weight and condition is important for your dog’s overall health. The feeding recommendations on dog food packages are based on average adult dogs with normal activity levels. If your dog gets a lot of daily exercise by going on daily runs or hikes with you, your dog may need more calories. As your dog grows, their nutritional needs change. If your dog is still a puppy, they need puppy food for proper growth and development. Senior dogs may benefit from senior formulas that help keep older dogs active and maintain a healthy weight.
