Feeding Your Adult Dog
Sponsored by PRO PLAN
As well as knowing what to feed your dog, it’s also worth bearing in mind what you shouldn’t. You should try to avoid feeding your dog scraps from the table, as some human foods can pose a health risk to your pet, or even be toxic.

What should I feed my adult dog?

Adult dogs need a nutritionally complete and balanced diet for optimal health. Our adult dog food is expertly formulated to support a healthy weight and body condition throughout this life stage. The risk of obesity increases for middle-aged dogs, so it is important to follow the feeding guidelines on the packaging. Your dog's breed size, activity level and other needs such as food allergies will also determine which food from our adult dog food range is best for them. In case of specific conditions, consult your veterinarian to confirm the right fit for your dog.

How do I choose the right adult dog food for my dog’s size?

At Purina, our range of adult dog food includes recipes specifically tailored to breed size. Small dog breeds need a food that is more concentrated in calories and nutrient-dense due to their higher metabolic rates and smaller stomachs. Large dog breeds require fewer calories per kilogram of body weight, and may also benefit from ingredients such as glucosamine that support joint health and mobility.

How much should I feed my adult dog?

Start with the feeding guidelines on the packaging, then adjust based on your dog’s body condition and weight. If you are unsure, your veterinarian can help you set the right daily amount.

Is it better to meal feed adult dogs rather than free feed?

Meal feeding with measured portions can help many adult dogs maintain a healthy body condition compared with free feeding. It also helps you notice changes in appetite sooner. Using set mealtimes and measured portions of Purina adult dog food can make daily intake easier to manage.
