Understanding the Need for Dietary Adjustments
Changes in activity can significantly impact your dog’s caloric needs. Dogs that are more active in the cooler months may require more energy-dense food, while those who slow down might benefit from a diet lower in calories to prevent weight gain.
How to Adjust Your Dog’s Food for Autumn and Winter
•If your dog spends more time outdoors, playing and exercising, they might need more calories in the winter. Consider foods that are higher in protein and fat to meet their increased energy requirements.
•Conversely, if your dog tends to become more sedentary as the weather cools, reducing their portion sizes or switching to a lower-calorie food can help manage their weight.
Tips for Monitoring Your Dog’s Health
• Regular weigh-ins can help you monitor if your dog’s diet needs further adjustments.
• Energy levels can be a good indicator of whether their dietary needs are being met.
Keep an eye on the body condition of your dog and notice if they are looking heavier or lighter over the rib cage area.
