A menu for every age
Their needs change as they grow
Puppy: A growth diet for a large or very large breed helps support harmonious development without excess energy.
Adult: A high-quality ration, measured and divided into 2 meals, helps maintain muscle mass and limit weight gain.
Senior: With age, a more digestible diet adapted to the joints can help preserve mobility and overall comfort.
Which food?
Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
Premium kibble formulated for large or very large breeds generally suits the Komondor well, with a good balance between quality proteins, controlled fats and joint support. The ration must always be adjusted to the dog's age, size, activity level and body condition.
Portion sizes
How much should you feed?
The daily amount varies according to age, weight, physical activity and the energy density of the chosen food. In adults, it is often preferable to split the ration into 2 meals to improve digestive comfort and make weight control easier.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
|---|---|---|
| 40 - 47 kg | 570 - 773 g | 2 |
| 47 - 53 kg | 650 - 880 g | 2 |
| 53 - 60 kg | 730 - 986 g | 2 |
Changing food
How to switch foods successfully
Any change in diet must be done gradually over 7 to 10 days by increasing little by little the proportion of the new food. This transition limits digestive upsets and makes it possible to check good tolerance of the ration.
Hydration
Don't overlook water
Clean, fresh water must remain available at all times. Particular vigilance is required in hot weather, after exercise and for a dog with a very abundant coat, which may be more sensitive to thermal discomfort.
A little extra
Treats in moderation
Treats should remain occasional and be included in the overall ration. For this breed prone to weight gain, it is preferable to favor simple, low-calorie rewards.
Good habits
Make mealtimes count
- Weigh the portions rather than estimating them by eye.
- Split the daily ration into 2 meals.
- Limit treats to avoid weight gain.
Never feed these foods
As with other dogs, chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, xylitol, alcohol, yeast dough, and cooked bones should be avoided, as they can cause serious poisoning or digestive complications.
