How much to feed per day
Starting guidance for an adult, neutered, moderately active dog at an ideal weight. The real portion depends on breed, age, neutering and body condition.
| Dog weight | Per day | 400 g pouches |
|---|---|---|
| 2 kg | 125 g | 0.25 |
| 5 kg | 245 g | 0.5 |
| 10 kg | 410 g | 1 |
| 15 kg | 560 g | 1.5 |
| 20 kg | 690 g | 1.75 |
| 25 kg | 820 g | 2 |
| 30 kg | 940 g | 2.25 |
| 40 kg | 1165 g | 3 |
The calculation follows the method of the veterinary nutritionist who formulated the recipes (FEM × correction factors).

Digestion, hydration, coat and breath
What our recipes do, and what depends on other things. Every guide lists its sources.
Digestion
Real meat as the first ingredient, a single animal protein and few ingredients, steam-cooked in their own pouch: a recipe that's easy to digest. Gas also depends on how you switch food: do it over 7-10 days.
Dog gas and flatulence: causes and what to do →Hydration
Our recipes are 66-77% water. In a 2025 study, dogs fed a wet food with 71% water took in 141% of their minimum water requirement in total, against 102% on kibble.

How to prevent dehydration in dogs →Coat
Every recipe is a complete food: animal protein (10.6-12.9 g per 100 g), the natural fats of the meat and a vitamin and mineral supplement, the nutrients skin and coat are made of.
Shiny coat: what really matters in the diet →Breath
No preservatives, no colourings, no meat meals. But for breath the toothbrush does the real work: the cause is almost always the mouth, not the bowl.
