Feeding Guide
Feeding guides are a starting point. Adjustments may need to be made according to activity, breed and even dependent on the weather as maintaining body temperature can influence energy requirements.
Puppies have a higher energy requirement than adult dogs, making it important to ensure that puppies are fed a suitable diet that has the correct number of calories to support their rapid growth. Puppies and pregnant bitches should be fed meals 3 to 4 times a day. Please consult your veterinarian if you have any questions or concerns about your puppy’s growth.
| Adult Size | Puppy | Adult |
| Toy < 5kg | 1.5 cups / day | 1 cup / day |
| Small - 10kg | 2.5 cups / day | 1.5 cups / day |
| Medium - 15kg | 3.5 cups / day | 2 cups / day |
| Large - 25kg | 5 cups / day | 2.5 cups / day |
| Giant > 50kg | 8 cups / day | 4.5 cups / day |

Changeover to new diet
As with introducing any diet, this is best done gradually to allow time for your dog’s gut to adjust. We recommend doing this over a 4-7-day period depending on your dog’s tolerance to dietary change.
Ensure clean drinking water is available to your dog at all times.

Body Condition Tool
Adjust feeding to meet a body condition score of 5.
Assessing whether your pet is the correct weight is not always dependent on what the scales say. Assessing body condition is a useful tool in determining a healthy weight for your dog.
Monitor your dog’s body condition score below. If it is 7 or above, reduce the amount you feed by ¼ cup/28g per day then reassess after 1-2 weeks. If it is 3 or below, increase the amount you feed by ¼ cup/28g per day then reassess. If in doubt, consult your vet.
Maintaining optimal body condition can lead to a longer and healthier life for your pet.
