Feeding
# Feeding your Pont-Audemer Spaniel well
France
The Pont-Audemer Spaniel needs good-quality food, adapted to its medium size, its often high activity level and its body condition. Its ration must support endurance without promoting overweight, with an adjustment according to the hunting season, age and actual expenditure.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Puppy: A growth diet for a medium-sized puppy, divided into 3 to 4 meals, helps support development without excess weight gain.
- Adult: The ration must be adjusted to the actual activity level, with 2 meals per day to limit digestive upsets and better control weight.
- Senior: In older dogs, a more digestible and moderately energy-dense formula helps preserve muscle mass while avoiding weight gain.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
Premium kibble for an adult dog of medium size and active generally suits very well, with a good content of animal proteins and an energy density consistent with its exercise. A home-prepared or mixed diet can also be suitable if it is properly balanced with the help of a veterinarian.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The ideal quantity varies according to weight, age, sex, sterilization and above all the level of activity. A very athletic subject or one that hunts regularly will have needs clearly higher than those of a companion dog walked in a moderate way. The ration is adjusted according to body condition rather than remaining fixed.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 15 - 18 kg | 220 - 260 g | 2 |
| 18 - 20 kg | 250 - 300 g | 2 |
| 20 - 22 kg | 280 - 330 g | 2 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any change in diet must be gradual over 7 to 10 days in order to limit digestive upsets. It is preferable to gradually mix the old food and the new one, while monitoring appetite, stools and overall tolerance.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Hydration is essential, particularly for an active dog that works outdoors, swims or is active in hot weather. Clean, fresh water must be available at all times, including when returning from outings or days of hunting.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats can be useful for training and recall, but they must remain measured and included in the calculation of the daily ration. It is better to favor small, simple and digestible rewards rather than fatty extras or ones given without control.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Weigh the ration rather than estimating it by eye.
- Adjust the energy intake according to the hunting season and the intensity of outings.
- Split the ration into 2 meals per day.
- Regularly monitor body condition and waistline.
### Never feed these foods
As with other dogs, chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, alcohol, coffee, cooked bones, xylitol and very fatty or very salty foods should be avoided, as they can cause poisoning, digestive disorders, pancreatitis or more serious complications.
