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 help 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

Senior dogs often benefit from a food that supports joints, digestion and lean muscle. Lamb & Rice can be a great option for older dogs who enjoy lamb-based recipes or need a highly digestible protein source. For fussy mature dogs, try adding a little warm water or wet food topper to bring out the aroma.
