This is a question that is asked often and there are a number of variables. These following recommended amounts are for average conditions. Your dog’s specific requirements may vary according to considerations such as their breed mix, age, size, activity-profile and environment.
We suggest taking the daily recommended amount and splitting it across two meals a day for adults and three meals a day for puppies.
Any eating disorder should be referred to your dog’s veterinarian without hesitation. If you require further information on feeding and care, please contact us.
Always ensure that your dog has free access to plenty of fresh, clean water – especially during very hot weather.
The recommendations below are daily amounts:
