As the seasons change, so do your doggo’s needs. From cooler winter mornings to hot summer afternoons, activity levels, appetite and energy output can all shift. Which raises the question… should their feeding routine change too?

Short answer: yes, but it doesn’t have to be complicated.

Summer feeding

In warmer weather, dogs tend to be less active during the day and can lose their appetite, especially in the heat.

You might notice:

• Smaller appetites

• Slower eating

• Less interest in heavy meals

During summer, it can help to:

• Feed lighter portions

• Offer meals earlier in the morning or later in the evening

• Include hydrating foods or fresh water regularly

The goal is to keep things light, hydrating, and easy to digest, especially around hot days and beach outings.

Winter feeding

When the temperature drops, many dogs become more active during the day, hungrier and in turn, more eager for food. This means they require more fuel for energy and warmth.

In winter, your dog may benefit from:

• Slightly larger portions

• More energy-dense meals

• Consistent feeding to support activity and body warmth

It’s not about overfeeding. The goal is to make sure they’re getting enough to match their energy output.

It’s not just the season

Every dog is different. Age, breed, activity level and lifestyle all play a role in how much (and what) they should be eating.

A highly active dog in summer may still need more fuel than a relaxed indoor pup in winter.

That’s why it’s important to:

• Watch their energy levels

• Monitor body condition

• Adjust portions as needed

What stays the same

No matter the season, one thing doesn’t change - quality matters.

Feeding real, nutrient-rich food with high quality protein, natural fats like omega-3s, and no unnecessary fillers supports your dog’s health all year round.

Small changes, big difference

You don’t need to completely overhaul your dog’s diet every season. However, a few small adjustments to their portion size, feeding time, and meal balance can go a long way in keeping your doggo feeling their best.

Think of it like this - in summer, keep it light and easy, while in winter, fuel them a little more. Simple, effective, and tailored to how your dog actually lives.
