How much dry food should I feed my dog each day?

Follow the feeding chart on the pack for your dog's adult weight, then adjust by body condition rather than appetite. You should be able to feel the ribs under a thin fat layer without pressing hard; if you cannot, reduce by ten per cent.

Is grain-free dry food better for dogs?

Not inherently. Grain-free matters for the small number of dogs with a diagnosed grain sensitivity, but for most dogs the quality of the protein and fat sources matters far more than whether rice or maize is present.

What size bag should I buy?

Buy a pack your dog will finish within about six weeks of opening. Large bags look economical but the fats begin oxidising once the seal is broken, and in Ahmedabad's heat that happens faster than most owners expect.

Can I mix dry food with wet food or home-cooked meals?

Yes, provided the total calories stay within your dog's daily requirement. The usual mistake is adding a wet topper on top of a full kibble portion, which quietly delivers twenty to thirty per cent more calories than intended.
