Your dog's diet is a fundamental pillar of their overall health and well-being. Choosing the right dog food for their activity level helps your pet maintain a healthy weight, maintain sufficient energy, and prevent digestive or muscular problems.

Not all dogs require the same diet: a sedentary dog, a moderately active dog, or a very active dog have different nutritional needs.

At Dibaq Pet Care , we know that every dog is unique, so we offer solutions tailored to each activity level , with high-quality feed that guarantees balanced and complete nutrition.

Know your dog's activity level

Before adjusting your dog's diet, it's essential to identify your dog's activity level. This allows you to adjust the rations and select the most appropriate dog food .

Sedentary dogs

  • They spend most of the day resting and do little physical activity.

  • They need fewer calories to avoid being overweight.

  • Moderate protein and fat control are ideal.

Moderately active dogs

  • Daily walks and some play, no intense training.

  • They require balanced proteins and fats to maintain constant energy.

  • Slow-digesting carbohydrates help sustain your activity.

Very active or sporty dogs

  • They perform frequent and demanding exercises

  • They need high-energy diets with essential vitamins and minerals.

  • Maintaining muscle mass and endurance is key.

Practical tips: Observe your dog's behavior, frequency of walks, breed, and age to correctly classify your dog.

Nutritional requirements according to activity level

Activity level directly influences the nutrients your dog needs:

  • Sedentary: fewer calories, fat control and moderate protein.

  • Active ingredients: more protein and fat, slow-digesting carbohydrates.

  • Very active: energetic diets, vitamins, minerals and amino acids for muscle support.

Dibaq Pet Care offers dog food tailored to each activity profile, ensuring that each pet receives the energy and nutrients it needs.

 

How to choose the right feed

Factors to consider

  • Life stage: puppy, adult or senior.

  • Activity level: sedentary, moderate or very active.

  • Quality ingredients: complete proteins, slow-digesting carbohydrates and essential fatty acids.

Examples of Dibaq Pet Care products

  • Food for sedentary adult dogs: weight control and healthy digestion.

  • Food for active dogs: sustained energy and muscle maintenance.

  • Food for very active dogs: extra protein and minerals.

A proper diet prevents digestive problems, excess weight, and loss of muscle mass, ensuring well-being and vitality.

 

Practical adjustments to daily nutrition

How to calculate servings

  • According to weight, age and activity level.

  • Adjust amounts based on metabolism and daily routine.

Meal frequency

  • Puppies: several small meals a day.

  • Adults and seniors: generally two meals a day.

Hydration and feed transition

  • Keep fresh water available at all times.

  • Mix the new feed with the old feed for 7-10 days to avoid digestive problems.

These adjustments ensure that your dog gets the most out of the nutrients in the dog food and maintains a healthy and balanced state.

 

Benefits of an adapted diet

  • Digestive health: efficient digestion and prevention of gastrointestinal discomfort.

  • Controlled weight: prevents overweight and obesity in sedentary dogs.

  • Energy and vitality: Active and very active dogs have the necessary energy.

  • Prevention of muscle and joint problems: Proteins and minerals protect muscles, bones, and joints.

  • Coat and general condition: quality nutrients improve coat shine and skin health.
