Dog Food: Balanced Nutrition for Every Dog at Every Stage of Life

Dog Food: Well Fed Through Every Stage of Life

A dog that enjoys its meals, digests them well and trots through the day with a glossy coat is showing you that its diet is right. Here you'll find dog food for every age and every need: wet and dry food from Winner Plus and Emmas, cold-pressed food from Natural Plus, gentle recipes for sensitive dogs and natural chews and treats for those little moments in between.

Finding the Right Food for Your Dog

Which food suits your dog best depends on its age, size and activity level. Puppies need more energy and minerals for growing, while calm seniors usually need fewer calories. Sporting dogs and working gundogs benefit from recipes with a high meat content. If your dog reacts to certain ingredients, recipes with a single animal protein or grain-free food can help. Whether you feed wet food, dry food or a mix of both is a matter of taste. What really counts is getting the daily amount right.

Chewing, Rewarding and Targeted Support

Alongside the main meal, chewing is simply part of life for many dogs. Dried natural chews such as beef ears, tripe or chicken feet keep your dog busy and satisfy its urge to chew. Rawhide chew bones last even longer. Soft dog treats fit in any jacket pocket and are ideal for training. For special phases of life there are supplements from IdaPlus, for example for skin and coat, the gut flora or supple joints.

Frequently asked questions

Can I mix wet and dry food?
Yes, many owners combine the two, for example dry food in the morning and wet food in the evening. Just reduce both portions accordingly so your dog doesn't end up getting too much overall.

How do I switch my dog to a new food?
Mix the new food into the familiar one gradually over 7 to 10 days, slowly increasing the share each day. This gives your dog's digestion time to adjust to the new recipe.

How much water should my dog drink a day?
As a rough guide, dogs need about 50 to 70 ml of water per kilogram of body weight a day, and more with dry food or in hot weather. If your dog suddenly drinks much more or less than usual, have it checked by your vet.
