For Adult dogs, feed Sport Dog Food either dry or moistened with water. Begin with the recommendations provided above and adjust to maintain body weight. We recommend feeding your dog at least twice a day. The feeding chart above is the total amount of food we recommend for the day. Divide the total by the number of feedings you will provide your dog.
Reproduction: Provide increasing amounts of food the latter half of gestation. The amount may be twice the normal intake. Feed to consumption during lactation.
Growth: Introduce dry food around the 5th week.
Always provide a source of clean fresh water. Feeding amounts listed are based on an 8 oz. standard measuring cup.
Sport Dog Food is complete and nutritionally balanced for dogs of all breeds and life stages. Keep in mind though, that our recipes are formulated for active, sporting, and working dogs which means that our formulas are more calorie-dense than your typical kibble.
If your dog is not a sporting breed but is still highly active, Sport Dog Food can provide the higher calorie content he needs to fulfill his energy requirements. If your dog is a normally active or under active breed, you should be careful to avoid overfeeding.
When changing from your current food to a Sport Dog Food formula, slowly incorporate into your dog's diet over 10-14 days. We encourage gradually reducing current food while increasing Sport Dog Food amounts. The amounts suggested may vary according to age, weight, temperament, activity level, breed, and surroundings.
Also keep in mind that the feeding amounts of all Sport Dog Food formulas is typically less than the average dog food on the market as our kcals per cup can be 15-25% more.
Please pay close attention to your feeding amounts. Compare the kcals per cup to your current formula and do not overfeed. Accidentally overfeeding is a common cause of loose stool and eventually weight gain. Most customers have reported they are feeding much LESS than their previous formula.
Even though your dog might be eating the same protein as your previous formula, they may still need more time to gradually get used to what is NOT in our formulas. Especially the elimination of Beet Pulp, Tomato Pomace, Flax Seed and lower grade proteins like Pork.
Do Not Overfeed. Accidentally overfeeding is a common cause of loose stool and eventually weight gain.
Be sure to keep fresh water available at all times.
When switching your dog’s diet, we recommend that it be done gradually over a 10-14 day period.
Sport Dog Food is naturally preserved. Keep dry kibble in a dark, dry area protected from extreme temperature swings and away from direct sunlight, Be sure to keep out of extreme heat. It is best to keep in original bag. If you use a container to store your food, please remember to wash sidewalls of any residual oil before you refill. The wrong storage container could cause a greasy film to build up on the container’s sides that will go rancid, cause the food to be distasteful and hasten food spoilage of any new food you add to the container.
Truly Unique Dog Food
Sport Dog Food formulas are made without peas, lentils or flax to minimize the risk of allergies and inflammatory disease. Their recipes include carefully chosen ingredients that promote good heart health, strong immunity and regular digestion, so your dog can always be the best at what he does.
Made for Speed and Endurance
Hard working canines need a higher level of nutrition, and Sport Dog Food was designed to meet that challenge. With over 500 calories per cup and added micronutrients, yeast cultures, and glucosamine and chondroitin for joint health, these recipes will help your active dog stay energetic and strong enough for every challenge.
Proudly American
All Sport Dog Foods are made with pride in the USA, using wholesome ingredients sourced from independent American ranchers and farmers. They never use any artificial ingredients or fillers—just naturally good real food to fuel your dog’s active lifestyle.
Easy on Sensitive Stomachs
When it comes to active canine nutrition, digestibility is key. Sport Dog recipes are completely free from corn, wheat, soy and other problematic fillers and don’t include peas or legumes either. Ingredients like real meat rich in heart-healthy natural taurine, USDA-grade harvested grains and antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables and herbs give working dogs the energy and edge they need to thrive.
Maximize Performance and Muscle Recovery
Cold-pressed Wild Norwegian Salmon Oil in every recipe supplies high levels of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids as well as healthy fat to fuel vigorous exercise. It nourishes a healthy coat and skin to help protect your dog from the elements and helps control inflammation to aid muscle recovery after hard work. You’ll see the difference in his shiny coat and unflagging energy!

Great Food
By SBLR on Jun 27, 2021
First off, I never give 5 stars unless it's a raw species appropriate diet. They love it!!! I do have to say we are very impressed with this food. In 1 week all shedding stopped and we have 10 Labrador Retrievers, so anyone can imagine how much fur that can be laying around at any one time. Energy and overall well being have picked up for our 3 Seniors and to me that means the world, because their overall contribution to our pack is tremendously important. I just wish it came in a 40 lb bag.

love this!
By Jordan14 on Apr 9, 2021
My 2 year old GSP has done so great on this food! We switched him from Purina ProPlan puppy when he was a year old to this food. He would get diarrhea all the time with pro plan but since switching to this food he’s done so much better! His coat is nice and shiny also! I love that this food is made in the USA :)

Mikey likes it!
By Elkemom on Nov 1, 2020
I have an underweight Gordon Setter with a small appetite. I thought I'd try a high calorie food so that every bite means a bit more! Since I've had her on this food, she has gone into the feeding area and BARKED (for food) at least 5 times. She is almost 4 years old and this has never happened before. Check back in a month and see if she's gained any weight!

Great Quality and Affordable Price
By Tess on Nov 29, 2020
Fantastic quality food at a great price. Our Weimaraner, Maude, loves it. Note that the kibble size for this Active Series Whitefish formula is quite small, 1/4", I'd estimate.

My picky eaters LOVE this food!
By MrandMrsJFinn on Jun 26, 2020
I have two Boston Terriers and they are picky eaters. They typically do not like healthy food, but they both love this food. Empty bowls even at the phase-in stage! My sister recommended this food to me because she said her lab dog loves it and I am so glad that I purchased and have added this product to my auto-ship!

Just started
By My4Redheads on Jul 13, 2020
I've just started mixing this in with my previous food-but my guys seem to like it and so far no adverse effects. Same great service from chewy!

Great Food, Happy, Healthy Dog
By AdventureFam on Feb 18, 2020
This company makes great food. It's very calorie dense, meaning that our 45# GSP only eats about 1.5-2 cups per day. That also means less yard cleanup. We've been using this food for almost 2 years, and we've been very happy!

Great food!

My dog has had loose poop and seemed to be allergic to everything until we tried this food. LOVE IT!!

Didn’t work well for my dogs
By Chickybird on Aug 9, 2019
I was excited to try this food because I was looking for a high-quality food that wasn’t grain-free and did not contain peas or lentils. This is the first variety of this brand I tried. I picked it because I’ve had good results with whitefish foods in the past. One of my Dobermans liked it fine. The other had to be coaxed to eat it sometimes. It made both dogs gassy and gave them soft stool that was hard to pick up, which really made things more difficult when we took our daily walks. I wanted to love it, but I think I’m going to have to try a different brand. I’ve now tried two varieties of this brand, and it just doesn’t seem to agree with them.
