Feeding
# Feeding your Blue Gascony Griffon well
France
The Griffon Bleu de Gascogne needs a complete and digestible diet, rich in quality proteins, adapted to its medium size and its activity level. As it is an active dog, the ration must support effort without promoting weight gain.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Puppy: A growth diet for a medium-sized dog helps support bone, muscle and immune development without excess energy.
- Adult: The ration must cover the dog's actual activity and remain well distributed to avoid greediness and digestive disorders.
- Senior: With age, a more digestible and moderately energetic diet can help preserve mobility and ideal weight.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
Premium kibble or a well-formulated home-prepared ration may be suitable, provided that the needs for proteins, lipids, vitamins and minerals are properly covered. The choice must take into account the dog's age, exercise intensity and any possible digestive sensitivity.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The daily amount depends mainly on weight, age, sex, activity level and lifestyle. A hunting dog in season or a very athletic subject will not have the same needs as a companion living more calmly on a daily basis.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 20 - 22 kg | 331 - 455 g | 2 |
| 22 - 23 kg | 355 - 487 g | 2 |
| 23 - 25 kg | 378 - 519 g | 2 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any dietary transition must be gradual over several days in order to limit digestive upsets. Gradually mixing the old and the new food helps improve tolerance and makes it easier to observe the dog's reaction.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Clean, fresh water must remain available at all times, especially after exercise, in hot weather and during hunting periods. Good hydration contributes to recovery and digestive comfort.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats can be useful for training and recall, but they must remain moderate and integrated into the total ration. It is preferable to choose simple, digestible and low-fat rewards.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Split the daily ration into at least 2 meals.
- Avoid intense exercise just before and just after meals.
- Regularly monitor the body shape and adjust the ration if needed.
### Never feed these foods
As with other dogs, chocolate, xylitol, grapes, onion, garlic, alcohol and very fatty foods should be avoided, as they can cause severe digestive disorders, poisoning, or neurological and kidney damage.
