Feeding
# Feeding your Halden Hound well
Norway
The Halden Hound needs a quality diet providing it with all the nutrients necessary for its good overall condition. Its ration must be adapted to its age, its size, its weight and above all to its level of physical activity, often high in this breed.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Puppy: Growth food adapted to the expected size, divided into three meals, without unnecessary calcium supplementation.
- Adult: Controlled ration in two meals, adjusted to ideal weight and actual activity.
- Senior: Digestible food, possibly less energy-dense, with joint and dental monitoring.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
Premium kibble for an active medium-sized dog generally constitutes a suitable base. The formula must offer a good balance between quality proteins, controlled fats and digestibility, with an adjustment of intake according to hunting seasons or calmer periods.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The daily quantity must always be adjusted to the actual weight, body condition and intensity of exercise. A dog that hunts or goes out a lot will have significantly higher needs than an individual living mainly as a companion.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 19 - 21 kg | 320 - 440 g | 2 |
| 21 - 23 kg | 348 - 478 g | 2 |
| 23 - 25 kg | 376 - 516 g | 2 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any dietary transition must be done gradually over several days in order to limit digestive upsets. Mixing the old and the new food with a gradual increase of the new ration is the safest method.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Clean, fresh water must remain available at all times. Hydration is particularly important after exertion, in hot weather and during long outings in nature.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats can be useful for training and recall, but they must remain measured and be deducted from the daily ration if they are given regularly. It is better to favor simple and digestible rewards.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Adapt the ration to the actual intensity of the exercise
- Split meals into two servings per day in adults
- Avoid intense effort just before and just after the meal
- Leave fresh water available at all times
### Never feed these foods
As with other dogs, chocolate, grapes, onion, garlic, avocado, cooked bones, alcohol, xylitol and very fatty foods should be avoided, as they can cause severe digestive disorders, poisoning or metabolic complications.
