Feeding
# Feeding your Finnish Spitz well
Finland
The Finnish Spitz is not particularly difficult to feed, but its diet must remain of good quality and well suited to its age, its size and its level of exercise.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Puppy: A good-quality growth diet, divided into several meals, helps support harmonious development.
- Adult: A balanced ration adapted to daily activity helps maintain its ideal weight and endurance.
- Senior: With age, a more digestible formula and weight monitoring help preserve mobility and comfort.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
A good-quality industrial diet may suit him, provided it supplies all the necessary nutrients and meets the needs of an active medium-sized dog.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The daily ration must be adjusted according to age, size, physical activity and body condition. Regular weight monitoring helps to fine-tune the quantities over time.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 8 - 10 kg | 174 - 238 g | 2 |
| 10 - 12 kg | 206 - 282 g | 2 |
| 12 - 14 kg | 238 - 326 g | 2 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any change in diet must be gradual over several days in order to limit digestive disorders and to observe good tolerance of the new ration.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Clean, fresh water must remain available at all times, especially after exercise, in mild to warm weather or during shedding periods.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats can be useful for training and motivation, but they must remain moderate and integrated into the overall energy intake of the day.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Split the ration into 2 meals per day.
- Adjust the quantities to the level of exercise and body condition.
- Weigh the dog regularly to adjust the ration if necessary.
- Introduce any new food gradually.
### Never feed these foods
As with other dogs, you should avoid in particular chocolate, onion, garlic, grapes, xylitol, alcohol, cooked bones and very fatty or very salty foods, as they can cause digestive or neurological disorders or sometimes serious poisoning.
