HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT DOG FOOD:
The correct formula depends on four factors — your dog's age, breed size, activity level, and health status:
- Puppies under 12 months need higher protein and DHA for brain and muscle development. Large-breed puppies (Labrador, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd) specifically need controlled calcium-to-phosphorus ratios — standard puppy food is NOT suitable for them
- Adult dogs (1–7 years) need balanced macronutrients for maintenance. Always match the formula to breed size — small, medium or large breed
- Senior dogs (7+ years) need joint support, reduced phosphorus and lower calorie density
- Dogs with health conditions — kidney disease, liver disease, skin allergies, obesity or diabetes — require specific diet formulas. Always follow your vet's recommendation before switching food

▼ Which is the best dog food brand in India — Royal Canin, Drools or Farmina N&D?
All three are strong brands but serve different needs. Royal Canin is the most breed and condition-specific — ideal when your vet recommends a targeted diet. Farmina N&D is grain-free with high-quality animal proteins — best for dogs with grain sensitivity or owners who prefer clean-label nutrition. Drools offers solid everyday nutrition at an accessible price point. The right brand depends on your dog's age, breed, health condition and your budget. When in doubt, ask your vet.
▼ What is the difference between dry dog food and wet dog food?
Dry food (kibble) contains 6–10% moisture — it is nutritionally complete, better for dental health, easier to store and more economical for daily feeding. Wet food contains 70–80% moisture — more palatable, easier to eat, and beneficial for dogs that don't drink enough water or are recovering from illness. For most healthy adult dogs, dry food is the standard recommendation. Wet food works best as a supplement or for dogs with specific hydration or appetite issues.
▼ What is the best puppy food for Labrador and Golden Retriever puppies in India?
Large-breed puppy formulas are essential for Labradors and Golden Retrievers. These formulas have controlled calcium-to-phosphorus ratios that prevent skeletal problems during rapid growth — standard puppy food can cause bone development issues in large breeds. Recommended options at Pets Lifestyle: Royal Canin Labrador Retriever Puppy, Royal Canin Maxi Puppy, Farmina N&D Puppy Medium & Maxi, and Arden Grange Puppy Junior Large Breed.
▼ My dog has a sensitive stomach or food allergy — what should I feed?
Two proven approaches exist for food-sensitive dogs. Hydrolysed protein diets break protein into fragments too small to trigger an immune response — ideal for confirmed food allergies. Novel protein diets use a protein source the dog has never eaten before (duck, venison, fish) — effective for dogs with sensitivity to common proteins like chicken or beef. Options at Pets Lifestyle include Farmina Ultrahypo Hydrolysed Fish, Vetsense Derma Support, Arden Grange Sensitive Ocean White Fish & Potato, and Royal Canin Hypoallergenic. A proper 8–12 week elimination diet trial under veterinary supervision is the gold standard for diagnosis.
▼ How much food should I give my dog every day?
Daily feeding quantity depends on your dog's weight, age, activity level and the specific food's caloric density. Every quality dog food pack carries a feeding guide on the label — use that as your starting point. As a general reference: a 10kg adult dog on standard dry food typically requires 180–220g per day. Puppies need more frequent smaller meals — 3 to 4 meals daily until 6 months, then 2 meals daily. Always adjust based on your dog's body condition score — you should be able to feel the ribs without pressing hard, but not see them.
▼ Is grain-free dog food better for dogs in India?
Not for every dog. Grain-free food is beneficial specifically for dogs with confirmed grain intolerance — signs include chronic itching, recurring ear infections, loose stools or excessive gas after eating grain-based food. For healthy dogs with no sensitivity, high-quality grain-inclusive food is equally nutritious and often more economical. Important note: the US FDA has investigated a potential link between grain-free diets high in legumes (peas, lentils, chickpeas) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs. Research is ongoing. Discuss with your vet before committing to a grain-free diet long-term.
▼ Can I mix dry and wet dog food together?
Yes — mixing dry and wet food is safe and widely practised. It combines the dental and cost benefits of kibble with the palatability and hydration of wet food. When mixing, reduce the quantity of each proportionally to avoid overfeeding. For example, if your dog's daily allowance is 200g dry food, feed approximately 150g dry plus a small wet food portion. Always calculate total calories from both to match your dog's daily energy requirement based on weight and activity level.
