The recommended number of meals an adult dog should eat per day varies depending on its size, activity level, health status, and any recommendations from the veterinarian. Adult dogs are usually fed in two daily meals, although feeding frequency may vary as long as the total amount of food recommended in the feeding guidelines on the packaging is respected.

Providing a complete food and an amount adapted to your pet’s energy requirements is the best approach for healthy nutrition. Other factors to consider include:

• The calorie content of the food;
• The environmental temperature where the dog lives;
• The insulation provided by its skin and coat;
• Specific nutritional needs (such as allergies or food intolerances).

You can choose Advance Adult, a complete and balanced food featuring Active Defense technology, or the Advance Veterinary Diets range, designed for adult dogs with special needs such as gastrointestinal or kidney problems.

The daily amount of dry food your adult dog needs depends on several factors, including weight, size, age, body condition, and physical activity level. For this reason, Advance Adult feeding guides provide recommended daily amounts for each product.

For greater accuracy, always refer to the feeding guide on the packaging and adjust the ration according to your dog’s specific characteristics.

Small, medium, and large dogs do not have the same nutritional requirements or feeding habits. Size influences aspects such as metabolism, energy expenditure, and the physical characteristics of chewing.

That is why Advance Adult offers specific Mini, Medium, and Maxi ranges, with kibble sizes adapted to different jaw sizes and formulas designed to meet the needs of each type of dog more effectively.

The age at which a dog is considered senior depends mainly on its size. As a general guideline, large dogs typically enter this stage from 6 years of age, medium-sized dogs from 7 years of age, and small dogs from 8 years of age.

From these ages onwards, and during the transition period, changes in physical activity, mobility, and energy requirements may occur. For this reason, Advance offers Advance Vitality Senior Mini, Advance Vitality Senior Medium, and Advance Vitality Senior Maxi dry food formulas, developed to help maintain vitality, support healthy digestion, and contribute to the maintenance of muscle mass.

Advance offers different options to meet the needs of every adult dog. Within the Advance Adult range, you can choose from formulas specifically designed according to your dog’s size, such as Mini, Medium, or Maxi, weight management options, and recipes developed for specific breeds, including Yorkshire Terrier, French Bulldog, Labrador Retriever, and Golden Retriever.

If your adult dog has special requirements related to its physical condition, such as being overweight, or health conditions such as diabetes or allergies, you may wish to consider the Advance Veterinary Diets range, which includes both dry and wet food options and should always be used following veterinary advice.

Advance Adult recipes are made with animal protein as the main ingredient and combine carefully selected high-quality ingredients to provide complete and balanced nutrition.

In addition, Advance Adult products feature the Active Defense formula, which helps maintain a balanced intestinal microbiota through a combination of functional ingredients such as prebiotics, probiotics, fibres, and immunoglobulins. This technology supports the proper functioning of the body's natural defences.

All of this is achieved without the addition of artificial preservatives or colourants.

Advance combines more than 25 years of experience in pet nutrition with science-backed formulations. Its recipes include the exclusive Active Defense technology, designed to help strengthen natural defences from within through carefully selected functional ingredients.

In addition, the Advance Adult range offers options tailored to each dog’s size, weight, and specific characteristics, providing complete and balanced nutrition made with high-quality ingredients and animal protein as the main ingredient.

Advance Adult is formulated to meet the daily nutritional needs of healthy adult dogs, with recipes adapted to different sizes, lifestyles, and specific breeds.

Advance Veterinary Diets, on the other hand, is the range developed for dogs requiring specific nutritional support associated with particular health conditions. These products have been formulated to help with the nutritional management of specific needs, such as food intolerances, gastrointestinal disorders, and allergies, for example, and should be used according to a veterinarian’s recommendation.
