Feeding
# Feeding your Porcelaine well
France
The Porcelaine needs a balanced, digestible diet adapted to its level of activity. A sporting dog by nature, it requires a ration consistent with its energy expenditure, while maintaining good control of quantities to preserve its figure and its digestive comfort.
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?
Good-quality kibble for an active adult dog generally suits the Porcelaine well, with a sufficient protein intake and an easily digestible formulation. The choice of food must take into account its age, its actual activity, any possible digestive sensitivity and its body condition.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The amount of food depends mainly on weight, age, sterilization and exercise level. In this hunting dog, the ration must be reassessed as soon as activity increases noticeably, then readjusted downward during calmer periods.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 20 - 22 kg | 331 - 455 g | 2 |
| 22 - 23 kg | 355 - 487 g | 2 |
| 23 - 25 kg | 378 - 519 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. An increasing mix between the old and the new food generally allows a more comfortable adaptation.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Clean, fresh water must remain available at all times. After exertion or in hot weather, it is important to monitor hydration particularly closely, because the Porcelaine can sustain long and steady efforts.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats can be useful in training, provided they remain moderate and are included in the calculation of the daily ration. It is better to favor simple, digestible rewards given at the right time.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Weigh the ration each day rather than serving by volume.
- Avoid intense exercise just before and after the meal.
- Deduct training treats from the daily ration.
### Never feed these foods
As with other dogs, chocolate, onion, garlic, grapes, avocado, alcohol, cooked bones, xylitol and very fatty foods should be avoided, as they can cause serious digestive disorders, poisoning or metabolic complications.
