Feeding

Feeding your Danish-Swedish Farmdog well

Active small-sized dog, it needs a complete and energetic diet, adapted to its level of exercise.

A menu for every age

Their needs change as they grow

  • Puppy : Small-format growth food in three to four meals.

  • Adult : Two meals adjusted to activity.

  • Senior : Digestible and slightly less energy-dense food.

Which food?

Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?

Premium kibble for small active dogs is well suited. Very sporty dogs can receive a food richer in energy.

Portion sizes

How much should you feed?

The ration depends on weight, age and above all activity; it is divided into two meals.

Chocolate, grapes, onion, garlic, xylitol, alcohol and cooked bones should be avoided.
