Feeding by Life Stage
Puppy
Medium-breed puppy formula. Feed 3 times daily until 6 months, then twice. Active puppies need adequate calories.
Transition to adult food: 12 months
Adult
Need 800–1,400 kcal/day. Hunting/field dogs may need 1,400+. High protein (26–30%) and moderate fat (14–18%). Two meals daily.
Senior
Reduce calories as activity decreases. Joint support for aging field dogs. Monitor thyroid function.

What to Look for in a Food
Quality protein (26–30%), moderate fat (14–18%), omega-3 for coat and joints, glucosamine for active dogs.
Weight Management
Very active Brittanys rarely have weight issues. Pet Brittanys with less activity should have portions adjusted downward.
