How to feed your dog according to its breed

Purebred dogs have unique characteristics that influence their diet and daily care. Factors such as size, genetics, and predisposition to certain diseases mean that each breed has specific nutritional needs.

Choosing the right food is essential to maintaining your dog’s health, energy, and quality of life. In this article, we explain how to feed your dog based on its size and introduce Picart Select, a premium range of dog food formulated for every need.
