SHOP BY FOOD TYPE:

  • Dry Dog Food — Complete nutrition kibble for all breeds and life stages. Best for dental health, easy to store, most economical daily option
  • Wet Dog Food — High-moisture gravy and chunk formulas. Ideal for picky eaters, dogs with low water intake, or post-illness recovery
  • Puppy Food — DHA-enriched, breed-specific starter and growth diets for dogs under 12 months
  • Grain-Free Dog Food — For dogs with confirmed grain sensitivity or intolerance. Available in Farmina N&D, Acana and Taste of the Wild

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.

Frequently Asked Questions – Dog Food India

Which is the best dog food brand in India - Royal Canin, Pedigree, or Farmina?
All three are good but they are not made for the same situation or the same budget. Pedigree is the most affordable option and it is available almost everywhere in India. For a healthy adult dog with no specific health issues, it works perfectly fine. Not fancy but it is balanced nutrition at a price that makes sense for most families. Royal Canin costs more and there is a reason for it. They make breed-specific and condition-specific formulas. There are separate products for Labradors, German Shepherds, Persians, and even dogs with kidney disease or skin allergies. If your dog has a health condition or you want food tailored to their breed, Royal Canin is worth the extra money. Farmina ND is a grain-free, high-protein brand from Italy that has become quite popular in India over the last few years. Real meat is the first ingredient and there is no corn, wheat, or soy. Good choice for dogs with grain sensitivity or if you prefer a more natural diet for your dog. For a normal healthy dog, Pedigree or a decent mid-range brand is perfectly fine. For dogs with specific health needs or a breed that has known dietary requirements, go with Royal Canin.
Should I feed my dog dry food or wet food?
Most vets suggest dry food as the main diet and wet food as something you add occasionally. Dry kibble covers all nutritional requirements, helps keep the teeth cleaner due to the chewing action, and is much easier to store and measure out. Wet food has more moisture in it, which helps with hydration. Dogs usually eat it more eagerly. It is especially helpful for dogs that do not drink enough water, older dogs with dental problems, or dogs that are recovering from illness or surgery. A practical approach that works for most dog owners in India is to keep dry kibble as the base diet and mix in some wet food a few times a week as a treat or topper. Avoid making wet food the only thing your dog eats every day for a long time. It can lead to dental issues and also make digestion unpredictable over time.
How much food should I give my dog every day?
There is no fixed number because it depends on your dogs weight, age, breed, and activity level. The feeding guide printed on the back of the food pack is your starting point. Every brand has it. As a rough estimate, a 10 kg adult dog eating dry kibble usually needs about 150 to 200 grams per day, split across two meals. A 30 kg dog may need 300 to 400 grams. Puppies need more food per kg of body weight because they are still growing. The best way to check if you are feeding correctly is to look at your dogs body. If you can feel the ribs easily but not see them clearly, and your dog has a visible waist when you look from above, they are at a healthy weight. If you have to press hard to feel the ribs through fat, cut back by about 10 to 15 percent. If the ribs are clearly visible, increase the quantity a bit.
What is the best food for a Labrador or Golden Retriever in India?
Both Labs and Goldens tend to put on weight easily, develop joint issues like hip dysplasia as they age, and some also have skin problems. Royal Canin has breed-specific formulas for both, Labrador Retriever Adult and Golden Retriever Adult. These have controlled fat levels, joint-supporting nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin, and a kibble shape designed for their jaw structure. If you prefer a grain-free option, Farmina ND large breed formulas work very well for both breeds. On a tighter budget, Pedigree Pro Large Breed or Fidele Large Breed are solid choices. One important note for Lab owners specifically - Labs will eat as much as you give them and then keep looking for more. Do not free-feed. Stick to measured portions twice a day only.
My dog has a sensitive stomach or food allergy. What should I feed?
If your dog keeps getting loose stools, itchy skin, repeated ear infections, or constantly licks their paws, a food allergy or intolerance could be behind it. The most common triggers are chicken, wheat, corn, and soy. For a proper elimination diet trial, the cleanest options are Royal Canin Hypoallergenic or Farmina Vet Life Ultrahypo. These use hydrolysed proteins, meaning the proteins are broken down into such tiny pieces that the immune system does not react to them. These are prescription diets and work best when a vet is guiding the process. For dogs with a sensitive stomach but no confirmed allergy, a grain-free single-protein food like Acana or a specific digestive care formula works well. Whenever you change food, start small and take at least 7 to 10 days to fully switch over. Sudden food changes always upset the stomach.
What is the difference between puppy food and adult dog food?
Puppies grow fast and their body needs different nutrition than an adult dog. Puppy food is higher in protein, fat, calcium, and phosphorus because the body is building bones, muscles, and organs all at once. It is also more calorie-dense because puppies burn through energy quickly. Adult food is more balanced for maintenance. The protein and fat levels are lower compared to puppy food. Feeding adult food to a puppy for a long stretch can slow their growth and development. Most breeds should shift from puppy food to adult food somewhere between 12 and 18 months of age. Large breeds like Labradors and German Shepherds should switch a bit later, around 18 months, because they take longer to fully develop. If you are unsure when to switch, your vet will guide you based on your dogs breed and current weight.
Is grain-free dog food actually healthier for dogs?
Not necessarily for every dog. Grain-free food got very popular with the idea that grains are bad for dogs. But healthy dogs can digest grains like rice and barley quite well. Grains are not harmful by default. Grain-free food makes real sense only if your dog is actually sensitive to grains or has been diagnosed with a grain allergy. For most normal dogs, a good quality regular kibble with grains is absolutely fine and nutritionally complete. One thing worth knowing a few years back, some research from the US suggested a possible link between grain-free diets and a type of heart disease called dilated cardiomyopathy in dogs. The research is still ongoing and not fully settled, but it is a good reason to not switch to grain-free without a real medical reason for your dog specifically. Ask your vet before changing based on trends alone.
Can I mix dry and wet food together?
Yes, you can and many dog owners do this regularly. Wet food improves the smell and taste of the meal, so fussy eaters usually eat more willingly when a little wet food is mixed into their dry kibble. It also adds some extra moisture to the meal. When mixing, reduce the quantity of dry kibble a little so that the total calories in that meal stay within the right range. Do not just add wet food on top of a full portion of dry food without adjusting anything. That will slowly cause weight gain. Try to use wet and dry food that are from the same brand or at least have similar nutritional profiles. Once a can or pouch of wet food is opened, put it in the fridge and use it within a day or two.
