You also need to consider your pet’s current weight, are they overweight? Or could they benefit from gaining a little extra weight?

There is no hard-and-fast rule, but a dog weighing over 10 kg should consume roughly 2% -3% of their body weight in food every day.

So for example a 20 kg dog should be eating roughly 400g on 2% or 600g on 3%

As an owner you should be watching your pet’s weight, if they are becoming heavy then feed them a little less and if you feel they could do with more coverage then increase their daily amount. Ideally you will feed your pet their daily amount over 2 meals during the day.

For your puppy or kitten we would recommend around 5% – 8% of their bodyweight. 

Feed your puppy or kittens the recommended amount over three to four meals a day.

As a rule of thumb the following applies but we must stress all dogs are different:

1kg – 2kg 10% of bodyweight

3kg – 4kg 7% of bodyweight

5kg – 8kg 5% of bodyweight

9kg-10kg 3% of bodyweight

10kg and over 2% of bodyweight
