Calculating energy requirements

Energy requirements vary considerably between individual dogs, even between siblings kept under the same conditions!

This wide variation between individual animals can be driven by differences in age, breed, body condition, activity level and so on. Then add in environmental factors, such as temperature, and you can see why so many pet owners are so confused.

Whilst no single formula or calculator will determine the exact energy requirements for all dogs (any such tool can only predict a theoretical average), our tool will provide you with a good starting point to help you understand how to make a better feeding choice for your pet.

Pet care and feeding FAQs

When changing any diet the key is to do it slowly. Introduce the new Trophy pet food in small quantities, gradually increasing the amounts fed whilst gradually decreasing the amount of the old food.

Can your food help if I have an overweight dog?

Yes, along with appropriate exercise and the sensible feeding of treats. Take a look at our Super Premium Lite and Super Premium Grain-Free Weight Control options. Both are very reliable weight management diets.

Does your food contain artificial colours, flavours or preservatives?

We are very proud to say that we have never used any artificial colourings, flavourings or preservatives in our range. We only use 100% natural supplements.

How do you define the term ‘hypoallergenic’?

Diets that are specifically formulated for dogs that are prone to the effects of food-based allergens. The symptoms vary from stomach sensitivities, to skin and coat irritation.

What do you mean by 'No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives'?

Trophy ensures that all recipes exclude commonly perceived nasties, unwanted e-numbers, excess salt, etc; yet still ensure the food is kept as fresh as the day produced. Any colour you see is the result of the fresh seasonal raw ingredients.

What makes your diets hypoallergenic?

All of our foods which are listed as hypoallergenic do not contain wheat or any other commonly recognised food-based allergens.

What makes your diets grain-free?

Our grain-free foods are completely free from sources of gluten. This includes, rice, wheat, maize, corn, barley and oats.

Do I need to buy wet as well as dry food?

No, all of our foods are complete and optimally balanced diets. However, some owners like to add a bit of our Premium Holistic Wet Food range at mealtime for some extra ‘wow factor’.

What are natural antioxidants?

Natural antioxidant inclusion helps the mop-up of free radicals that are produced through oxidation. Examples of ingredients we use with high antioxidant properties are blackcurrant and rosemary.
