Dog Nutrition by Age
A dog's nutrition needs change with growth, activity, body condition, and health history. Use life stage as a starting point, then ask your vet about your individual dog.
Puppies
Puppies need food formulated for growth. Large-breed puppies may need careful calorie and mineral balance to support steady development.
Adult dogs
Adult dogs usually need weight maintenance, consistent portions, and treats that do not crowd out balanced meals.
Senior dogs
Senior dogs may need adjustments for weight, dental comfort, digestion, or medical conditions.
Pro Tip
Measure food for two weeks before changing brands or portions. Guessing makes it harder to understand weight changes.
