Dog Food & Feeding
Feeding your dog quality dry food delivers balanced nutrition packed into convenient kibble. Dry recipes from trusted brands are formulated with the right mix of proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals for each life stage. Chewing hard kibble also promotes dental health, it helps scrape off plaque and tartar as dogs eat. Plus, dry dog food is shelf-stable (thanks to natural preservatives), so you can store large bags without spoilage. This makes it more affordable: buying in bulk saves money per meal and keeps your dog satisfied.
We stocks every type of dry kibble Irish dogs need. We offer grain-free and high-protein formulas for active dogs or those with allergies, limited-ingredient/hypoallergenic blends for sensitive stomachs, and specialist diets (like low-fat or veterinary-recommended foods). Life-stage lines cater to puppy, adult and senior dogs, with tailored nutrient levels. You’ll find breed- and size-specific dry foods too, from Royal Canin’s precise breed formulas to large- and small-breed kibbles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is dry dog food good for my dog’s teeth?
Yes. Kibble’s hard texture encourages chewing, which gently abrades the teeth. This chewing action can help reduce plaque and tartar buildup compared to wet food. However, regular dental checks and cleanings are also important.
What dry food is best for a sensitive stomach?
For digestive sensitivities, look for limited-ingredient or hypoallergenic dry diets. These often use a single novel protein (like duck or venison) and gentle carbs (rice, potato) plus added prebiotics. Hill’s Sensitive or Burns Sensitive lamb formula are examples. Always switch diets gradually and consult your vet if problems persist.
How do I choose food by my dog’s breed and age?
Pick a diet formulated for your dog’s life stage and size. Puppies need higher protein and fat for growth, while seniors benefit from joint-support nutrients and lower calories. Small breeds have kibble sized for their mouths; large breeds need nutrient ratios that support bone and joint health. For breed-specific diets (e.g., Royal Canin breeds), follow the product age guidelines on packaging.
Are grain-free dry foods better?
Grain-free kibbles replace grains (wheat, corn) with alternatives like potatoes or peas. They can help dogs with grain sensitivities or certain allergies, and may reduce inflammation for some dogs. However, not all dogs need grain-free diets—corn, rice and oats are natural sources of nutrition too. Grain-free diets are popular for dogs with diagnosed sensitivities.
How much dry food should I feed my dog?
Feeding amounts vary by dog size, activity level and diet calorie content. As a starting point, follow the feeding guide on the bag (often based on weight). Divide the daily total into 2–3 meals. For example, an average adult 15 kg dog might eat ~150–300 g per day depending on the food’s calorie density. Monitor your dog’s weight and body condition, and adjust as needed. Puppies and seniors will have different needs (puppies eat more per kg for growth, seniors may need fewer calories).
