Feeding dogs in India requires a different approach compared to colder countries. Climate plays a major role in digestion, energy levels, and hydration.

Common Feeding Mistakes
  • Overfeeding carbohydrates

  • Excess fat during hot months

  • Heavy meals during peak summer hours

  • Ignoring portion control

Ideal Nutritional Balance for Adult Dogs

A balanced diet should consist of: • 22–28% protein

• 10–15% fats

• 40–50% carbohydrates

• 3–6% fibre

Rice should never exceed 30% of the total meal. Protein quality matters more than quantity, especially in warm weather.

Portion Control Makes the Difference

Meal portions should be adjusted based on body weight, activity level, and weather. Overfeeding, even with healthy food, can lead to weight gain and digestive issues.

Meals are portioned by weight, not estimation. Feeding times are adjusted to suit weather conditions, and hydration is closely monitored—ensuring dogs stay active and comfortable throughout their stay.

Smart feeding is not about trends—it’s about understanding your dog’s real needs.
