Gain® Feeding Guide

Your pet will have different nutritional requirements to you and your family. This is why it is a good idea to feed your pet specially designed pet food. It is less time-consuming to feed your pet something from the Gain® pet food range, as we have conducted research into all our feeds to meet all your pet's nutritional needs.

Gain® Dog foods are highly consistent and digestible and result in easily managed small dry stools and reduced levels of unpleasant dog odours. Adding scraps to the diet can upset the dogs digestion and lead to messy unpleasant-smelling stools.

Be careful not to over-feed your pet. Dogs have a natural instinct to store food, and eat as much as possible. The right number of calories to feed your pet can depend on breed, their activity levels, their size, their age and ambient conditions. Please check our product descriptions to find out how much your pet should be eating a day.

Some useful tips for feeding:

Feed adult dogs once or twice a day.

Please ensure your pet has clean fresh water available to them at all times.

One trick to discourage your dog from begging for extra food is to reward him with more affection instead.

Encourage good behaviour in your pet by feeding them at regularly scheduled meal times, such as when the family are having breakfast or dinner.

Dry dog food, as well as being designed to meet your dog's nutritional needs, has the added benefit of aiding their dental health.

Also, there are certain foods you should avoid giving your pets:

  • Raw eggs: Can lead to a deficiency of Biotin, which can cause dermatitis.
  • Raw Fish: Some can cause deficiency of Thiamine.
  • Raw Meats: These can contain harmful parasites and bacteria.
  • Raw Liver: High levels can cause Vitamin A toxicity.
  • Small Soft Bones: Chicken bones can lodge in the mouth or throat.
  • Chocolate: dogs are allergic to chocolate.
