Feeding
# Feeding your Berger de Savoie well
France
The Berger de Savoie is not known to be difficult in terms of diet. It can be given a traditional or industrial diet provided that it is balanced and suited to its age, its weight, its size and its level of activity.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Puppy: Offer a balanced diet suited to growth, its weight, its size and its activity level.
- Adult: Adjust the ration to actual activity, particularly if the dog works, practices a sport or regularly accompanies its owner on hikes.
- Senior: Reassess energy intake with age and changes in activity, while maintaining a complete and balanced diet.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
A complete and balanced diet, traditional or industrial, can suit him. The choice must take into account his age, his size and his activity level, particularly high in a working or sporting dog.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The daily quantity must be adjusted to the dog's weight, age, size and actual activity. The needs of a very active subject or one used for work differ from those of a dog temporarily less solicited.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 20 - 23 kg | 343 - 471 g | 2 |
| 23 - 27 kg | 390 - 535 g | 2 |
| 27 - 30 kg | 436 - 598 g | 2 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any change in diet must be gradual in order to give the dog time to adapt to the new diet.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Clean, fresh water must remain available, especially after long outings, hikes, work or sporting activities.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats should remain occasional and be taken into account in the overall balance of the ration so as not to encourage weight gain.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Adapt the ration to age, weight, size and activity level.
- Reassess quantities when the intensity of outings or work changes.
- Choose a complete and balanced diet, traditional or industrial.
- Leave clean, fresh water available.
### Never feed these foods
As with any dog, it is necessary to avoid in particular chocolate, grapes and raisins, onion, garlic, leek, alcohol, caffeine, xylitol and cooked bones, which can cause poisoning or digestive lesions.
