Choosing the right dry dog food
Protein source
Different proteins suit different dogs. If you’re switching from one recipe to another, keep it simple: choose one main protein and monitor how your dog gets on.
Sensitive dogs & grain-free
If your dog is prone to digestive upset or itchiness, a grain-free recipe can be worth exploring. A popular option is Skinners Grain Free Salmon & Sweet Potato.
Lifestyle & activity
More active dogs typically need more energy-dense diets, while older or less active dogs may do better on lighter recipes. If you’re unsure, your vet can help you choose based on weight, age, and routine.

Dry dog food feeding guide
Speak to your vet first
If your dog has a health condition, is under/overweight, or needs a specialist diet, check with your vet before changing food.
Transition gradually (7–10 days)
Mix a small amount of the new dry food into the old, increasing the new food a little each day.
Split the daily amount
- Most adult dogs do well on two meals a day
- Puppies often need smaller, more frequent meals
Monitor body condition
You should be able to feel your dog’s ribs with light pressure, without a thick layer of fat.
Fresh water, always
Dry food is best supported with constant access to clean water.
