Feeding
# Feeding your Schiller Hound well
Sweden
The Schiller Hound needs a balanced, good-quality diet, adjusted to its age, size and above all its activity level. A very active dog will not have the same needs as an individual living more calmly.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Puppy: A growth diet for an active medium-sized dog helps support bone and muscle development without excess energy.
- Adult: The ration must match the actual activity level, with good nutrient density to support endurance.
- Senior: With age, a more digestible diet adapted to joint maintenance can be useful depending on the dog's condition.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
A complete diet rich in good-quality animal proteins is well suited to this active dog. The choice between kibble, a home-prepared ration formulated with a professional, or a mixed diet should always aim for digestibility, consistency, and adaptation to the effort provided.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
Quantities must be adapted to the dog's weight, energy expenditure and body condition. It is preferable to adjust the ration according to periods of hunting, sport or reduced activity rather than keeping an identical portion all year round.
| 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 change must be gradual over several days in order to limit digestive disorders. A gentle transition also makes it possible to check the dog's good tolerance of the new food.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Clean, fresh water must remain available at all times. After exertion, in hot weather or during long outings, hydration deserves special attention.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats can be useful for training and recall, provided they remain moderate and integrated into the overall energy intake. It is preferable to favor simple, easily digestible rewards.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Split the ration into at least two meals per day.
- Avoid intense exercise just before and just after meals.
- Quickly adjust the ration during periods of high activity.
- Regularly monitor body condition rather than relying only on weight.
### Never feed these foods
As with other dogs, chocolate, onion, garlic, grapes, avocado, alcohol, cooked bones and very fatty or very salty foods should be avoided, as they can cause digestive or neurological disorders or sometimes serious poisoning.
