Dog Food

About

This is the full dog food range — most of it dry, covering puppy, adult and senior formulas, small- and large-breed kibbles, grain-free and single-protein recipes, and the air-dried and freeze-dried lines that sit between kibble and raw. If you already know what you feed, the brand collections below are the quickest route. Dry, wet, or a bit of both Dry food is the usual base: it keeps well once opened and is simple to measure. Dry is broader than kibble, though — the Ziwi, Prime100 SPD and Absolute Holistic air-dried foods and the freeze-dried dog food range are shelf-stable but made at high meat inclusions, so they are fed in much smaller portions. Wet food is roughly three-quarters water, which suits dogs that drink little, dogs with worn teeth and fussy eaters who need the aroma; cans, trays and pouches also portion themselves. Many households run both — if you do, take the wet out of the dry ration rather than adding it on top. Life stage, body size and the label Puppies need higher energy and controlled calcium, and large-breed puppies need a formula built for them so growth is not pushed too fast, which is why puppy food is kept separate. Dogs move to adult maintenance at around twelve months for small breeds and eighteen months to two years for the giants. Senior ranges such as Eukanuba Senior, ORIJEN Senior and Hill’s Science Diet Adult 7+ trim calories and add joint support, while the size-based ranges from Advance , Royal Canin and Ivory Coat mainly vary kibble size, calorie density and fibre. Ingredients are ordered by weight before cooking, so a fresh meat listed first shrinks once it is dried, and a named meat meal further down often contributes more finished protein. The Guaranteed Analysis panel gives protein, fat, fibre and moisture, but a dry food and a wet one cannot be compared straight from those figures, because the wet one is mostly water. Treat the feeding guide as a starting point for your dog’s ideal weight. When you change brands, move acr
