Frequently asked questions about daily portions
How much food does my dog need per day?
It depends on their weight, age, how active they are and whether they’re neutered. As a guide, with our Fresh semi-moist food an adult 10 kg dog needs about 165 g a day and a 30 kg dog about 375 g. The calculator gives you the exact figure for your dog and the food you choose.
How much should a cat eat per day?
A neutered adult cat weighing 4 kg needs about 70 g of dry food a day with our Fresh Meat Sterilized recipe. If you also give wet food, reduce the dry food portion a little: the calculator suggests tins to complete their diet.
How many times a day should they eat?
An adult dog, in 2 meals; a puppy under 6 months, in 3. An adult cat, in 3 small meals, and a kitten, in 4. The calculator splits the daily portion into meals to make it easy for you.
What if they’re neutered or overweight?
A neutered animal burns less energy and usually needs 10 to 15 % less food. If they’re overweight, a Light or Sterilized recipe and a slightly smaller portion are ideal. Tell the calculator and we’ll take it into account.
How do I switch to a new food?
Gradually, over 7 to 10 days for dogs and 10 to 14 days for cats: start with 25 % of the new food mixed with the usual one and work up to 100 %. That way their digestion adapts without problems.
Are the amounts exact?
They’re a guide: every animal is different. Check their weight every 2 or 3 weeks and adjust the portion if they gain or lose weight. If in doubt, especially if they have allergies or an illness, ask your vet.
