Small breeds mature faster, large breeds more slowly. How to feed puppies Puppies have smaller stomachs, so they eat more often: 2-4 months : 4 meals a day 4-6 months : 3 meals a day 6-12 months : 2-3 meals a day Over 12 months : 2 meals a day (switch to adult food) Small-breed dog food – special needs Small-breed dogs (up to 10kg) have a faster metabolism and different nutritional needs from large dogs.

Daily requirements depend on your dog's weight, age and activity level. Below are approximate guidelines: For adult dogs (moderate activity) Dog 2-5 kg : 40-80g of food a day Dog 5-10 kg : 80-150g of food a day Dog 10-20 kg : 150-270g of food a day Dog 20-30 kg : 270-380g of food a day Dog 30-40 kg : 380-480g of food a day Dog over 40 kg : 480g+ of food a day For puppies (up to 12 months) Puppies need about 2x as much food as an adult dog of the same weight because they're growing so fast. ⚠️ Note : You'll always find exact feeding recommendations on the packaging. Adjust the portion to your dog's individual needs – active dogs need more, less active dogs need less. How to store dry food properly Dry place – moisture spoils food and encourages mould Airtight container – once opened, transfer the food to a container with a lid Room temperature – avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures Use within 4-6 weeks of opening to keep it fresh Check the best-before date – don't use food that's past its date 💡 Pro tip : Smaller bags (500g) are ideal for trying new flavours. Once you've found your dog's favourite, buy a bigger bag (1kg) – it's better value! Can you mix dry and wet food? Yes! Mixed feeding combines the benefits of both types of food: Dry food : dental hygiene, value, convenience Wet food : hydration, flavour, palatability Popular ratios: 75% dry food + 25% wet (budget-friendly) 50% dry food + 50% wet (balanced) 30% dry food + 70% wet (for fussy dogs) Remember to adjust the total calorie intake – when you add wet food, reduce the amount of dry food to avoid weight gain. Switching to a new food – how to do it A sudden change of food can cause digestive problems. The switch should take 7-10 days : Days 1-2 : 25% new food + 75% old Days 3-4 : 50% new food + 50% old Days 5-7 : 75% new food + 25% old Day 8+ : 100% new food Keep an eye on your dog – if you notice diarrhoea or vomiting, slow the switch down. Dry food and dental health One of the biggest advantages of dry food is the mechanical cleaning of teeth as your dog chews. Hard kibble: Removes plaque Prevents tartar build-up Reduces bad breath Supports healthy gums It's no substitute for brushing, but it's a big help for oral hygiene. Is BULT food grain-free? BULT food contains grains (rice, wheat), which are a source of energy and fibre. Grains aren't harmful to most dogs – problems only arise in dogs with a confirmed allergy or intolerance. If your dog is allergic to grains, look for food labelled "grain-free".

It depends on weight: a small dog (5kg) eats approx. 80-100g, a medium dog (15kg) approx. 200-250g and a large dog (30kg) approx. 350-400g a day. Check the recommendations on the packaging. Is dry food better than wet food? Dry food is more convenient, more economical and supports dental hygiene. Wet food is more appetising and more hydrating. A mixed diet (dry + wet) gives the best results. How long can opened dry food be kept? Opened food should be used within 4-6 weeks. Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. Can I feed puppies adult food? No, puppies have different nutritional needs. They need food with more protein, calcium and calories. Feed puppy food until 12-18 months of age. Why won't my dog eat dry food? Possible reasons: being used to wet food, dental problems, food that isn't fresh, kibble that's too big. Try adding water to the food, mixing it with wet food or changing the flavour. How much water should a dog drink on dry food? A dog eating dry food should drink more water – about 50-70ml of water per 1kg of body weight a day. Always make sure fresh water is available. Is fish-based food better than poultry-based food? Both are good. Fish (salmon, trout) is rich in omega-3, supports skin and coat and is ideal for allergy-prone dogs. Poultry (turkey, duck) is versatile, high in protein and economical. How do I choose food for a small-breed dog? Look for food labelled "small breed". It should have smaller kibble, a higher calorie content and a formula suited to the fast metabolism of small dogs. See also: Our full range of dog food
