Feeding
# Feeding your Polish Greyhound well
Poland
The Polish Greyhound needs a complete, high-quality diet, formulated for a large active dog and adjusted to its age, body condition and activity level. The daily ration is best kept stable and well digested rather than too rich or given irregularly.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Puppy: A growth diet for large dogs is recommended to support development without excessive energy intake.
- Adult: The ration must cover endurance and muscle mass without promoting overweight, ideally in 2 meals per day.
- Senior: The food is best made easier to digest, with increased monitoring of weight, mobility and appetite.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
Premium kibble for large active dogs generally works well, provided it is digestible and suited to the life stage. In very athletic individuals or those sensitive from a digestive standpoint, the composition and energy density must be assessed with the veterinarian.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The daily amount varies according to weight, age, sterilization and exercise intensity. It is preferable to adjust the ration based on body condition and stool quality rather than following only a theoretical guideline.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 40 - 45 kg | 430 - 520 g | 2 |
| 45 - 50 kg | 500 - 590 g | 2 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any dietary transition must be done gradually over several days in order to limit digestive disorders. Too rapid an introduction of a new food can cause discomfort, loose stools or refusal of the ration.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Clean, fresh water must be available at all times, especially after outings and in hot weather. Hydration deserves increased attention in this active dog, especially when exertion is sustained.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats can be useful for training, but they must remain moderate and included in the total daily energy intake. It is better to favor simple and digestible rewards in order to avoid weight gain.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Split the daily ration into 2 meals.
- Avoid intense exercise just before and after meals.
- Regularly monitor the silhouette and muscle condition.
### Never feed these foods
As with other dogs, it is necessary to avoid in particular chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, xylitol, alcohol, cooked bones and very fatty foods, as they can cause poisoning, severe digestive disorders or promote pancreatitis.
