Feeding Guide

Feeding amounts will vary depending on your dog’s breed, age, activity level, body condition and whether they are desexed. Use the guide on the packaging as a starting point and adjust as needed to maintain a healthy weight.

Black Hawk notes that mature dogs over 7 years may start to slow down while still benefiting from protein to support body condition, while dogs over 12 years may need feeding adjusted again as body maintenance becomes a higher priority.

Always provide fresh, clean water.

Pet Patch Tip

Mature dogs often benefit from a diet that supports joints, gut health and lean muscle. If your older dog is gaining weight, slowing down, or becoming a bit stiff, this type of senior recipe can be a good step before making bigger diet changes. For fussy older dogs, try adding a small amount of warm water or a wet food topper to bring out the aroma.
