Sporty & Active
High-energy feed for active and sporting dogs
Active dogs require extra energy and support. Whether sporting dogs, working dogs, or energetic companion dogs – their bodies use more nutrients every day.
Our high-energy feed for these dogs is rich in high-quality proteins and fats, complemented with essential vitamins and minerals. This helps support optimal endurance, muscle building and recovery, exactly what your dog needs to stay in top form every day.
A responsible choice for dogs that are more active.
* Crunchy kibbles --- Crispy, tasty and suitable for every dog.
* Pressed kibble --- Compact and easily digestible, for a settled stomach.
Sporty & active — Frequently asked questions
Which dogs benefit most from Sporty & active formulas, and when should I choose something different?
Choose high‑energy formulas for adult dogs that do consistent, above‑average activity: working dogs, agility or hunting dogs, and very active companion dogs. These diets support endurance, muscle maintenance and faster recovery. Avoid using high‑energy food as a default for puppies, pregnant or lactating dogs (use life‑stage formulas instead), or for sedentary or overweight dogs—those need lower‑calorie or veterinary diets. Always monitor body condition and adjust intake rather than switching food only once.
How do I choose between crispy kibble and pressed kibble?
Choose crispy (crunchy) kibble if you want a firmer texture that can help with chewing satisfaction and mild dental abrasion and is widely palatable. Choose pressed kibble if your dog has a sensitive stomach or needs a denser, more compact bite that some dogs digest more calmly. Pressed kibble can reduce dust and crumbs and may suit dogs that eat quickly or tolerate rich diets poorly. When in doubt, try a small bag and watch stool quality and appetite to decide.
How much and when should I feed an active dog to avoid common mistakes?
Base portions on your dog’s current weight, body condition and daily work intensity, not bag recommendations alone. Split the daily ration into at least two meals and avoid a large full meal immediately before intense exercise to reduce bloat risk. Offer a recovery meal or extra calories after prolonged exertion, and count treats and chews into the total daily energy. Weigh food with a scale, recheck body condition every 1–2 weeks, and reduce or increase portions gradually until the dog keeps a lean, working-appropriate shape.
My dog has food sensitivities or needs coat, joint or weight support—what should I compare within this category?
Compare protein and fat levels first: choose lower‑fat high‑quality protein if pancreatitis or weight control is a concern; choose higher‑fat formulas for prolonged high‑intensity work. Look for sources of omega fatty acids for skin and coat, and for added joint support (glucosamine/chondroitin) if your dog does heavy repetitive work. For suspected food allergies, choose limited‑ingredient or novel‑protein options and run a veterinary elimination trial rather than switching multiple ingredients at once. When in doubt about medical issues, consult your vet before changing to a higher‑energy formula.
