Wouldn’t it be a relief to know you’re feeding your German Shepherd exactly the right amount?

These handsome pups need plenty of fuel to keep them going, but too much food could see them piling on the pounds.

German Shepherd feeding guide

To find out exactly how much food your German Shepherd needs, download the PitPat App for their tailored feeding recommendation. And, if they have a PitPat Dog Activity Monitor, we’ll even take their activity levels into account.

There are loads of feeding options out there for dog owners, and it can be really difficult to know what is best for your dog.

Whichever food you choose, you should make sure the ingredients are high quality, like the poultry in PitPat Food which is fit for human consumption. You also need to ensure that your German Shepherd is getting a properly balanced diet, formulated by expert nutritionists to avoid any deficiencies. Finally, it should be super tasty.

Most adult dogs do best on two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.

Since German Shepherds are a highly intelligent and energetic breed, why not make mealtimes a bit more fun? Try scatter feeding their PitPat Food, or using puzzle toys instead of a food bowl. Not only will they love the experience, but it’ll also help keep them mentally stimulated.
