James Wellbeloved Senior Small Breed Turkey & Rice 1.5 kg Bag, Hypoallergenic Dry Dog Food

Product Information

If owners overfeed their dogs, or aren’t feeding them the best food for their size, age and breed, dogs can gain weight and become obese. The best guide to whether your dog is overweight is by using a body condition score. We have an easy-to-use scoring system that you can use here. Puppies should be weaned onto specially formulated puppy food to ensure they are consuming the correct balance of nutrients to grow big and strong. Your puppy’s daily allowance of food should be divided into a number of small meals. For owners who are giving their puppy pouches, if the whole pouch is not used in one day, it can be refrigerated for use the next day. James Wellbeloved dry dog food is also available in more tailored varieties, such as Light dishes for dogs struggling with their weight and Grain-Free kibble for dogs with sensitive skin or stomach. You will also find size-specific James Wellbeloved dry dog food, including both Small Breed and Large Breed varieties that recognise the importance of choosing a diet that is right for your dog’s size.

Normal activity’ for the dog involves walking on the lead for two to three hours a day, around an hour a day running off the lead or playing hard with its owner or with other dogs. Of course, a toy dog walking on the lead at 4mph for half an hour will burn a lot more calories than a Labrador doing the same thing.

You should feed your dog according to their ideal weight, which isn’t necessarily their current one. The body condition scoring system is used by vets to determine whether your dog is underweight, ideal or overweight. If your dog is anything but ideal then we recommend you make changes to your dog’s diet. To calculate the feeding quantity for your dog, choose your dog’s current bodyweight and then select the correct activity level for your dog. If you have a puppy, you’ll need to know the basics of puppy feeding. Puppies are usually weaned at around six to seven weeks of age. Prior to weaning, from around two to three weeks, the puppies can be offered small amounts of puppy kibble made into a soft mush with warm water. From six weeks, owners should gradually reduce the liquid. All moistened food must be replaced on a regular basis so that it doesn’t spoil or go off.

Here at zooplus you will find James Wellbeloved kibble suitable for all ages and breeds of dogs, with tailored dishes to support your dog throughout its life. This includes Puppy, Junior, Adult and Senior varieties, with each age range specifically formulated to meet your dog’s needs at this point. Dog adulthood is between one and seven years of age, depending on the size and breed of your dog. The healthy average dog weight for your dog depends on their breed and lifestyle needs. Regular vet visits can help you stay informed on the ideal weight for your dog, and any health conditions to be aware of. Our adult and senior feeding guidelines are based upon your dog’s current weight. A choice of activity level is also offered so that you can tailor your dog’s allowance. As with people, a more active dog will require more food to maintain muscle mass and good health. To help you feed your dog the correct amount for their activity level, James Wellbeloved provides feeding guidelines for three activity levels: high, normal and low. Adult dogs can be given one meal per day, but it’s usually best to divide this into two servings for the day. If you are giving your dog treats, it’s important to take the equivalent amount of food from their daily allowance to prevent overfeeding. Similarly, if you are giving your dog treats, these should not make up more than 10% of their total daily food allowance. Refer to the feeding guidelines themselves for additional detail about when to move onto the next life stage, the recommended number of meals to feed and ideal storage conditions.Our light dog food is designed to meet the needs of dogs with a tendency to gain weight and as such, there are two feeding options – recommended allowance to maintain existing weight and recommended allowance to promote weight loss. If your dog is currently at the correct weight but is greedy and gains weight easily, feed according to the “maintain existing weight” guide. If your dog is overweight then feed according to the “promote sensible weight loss” guide. If your dog is seriously overweight or obese, then consult your vet for advice on a suitable weight loss plan. Providing your dog with a balanced and nutritious diet is the perfect way to ensure they stay healthier and happier for longer. However, when it comes to feeding dogs, people are often confused about what the correct amount is. By reading our guide you should come away with a clearer idea on how much you should feed your pet.
