Find your dog’s recipe
Four complete and balanced recipes, one for each stage of a dog’s life. Two things decide which is yours: your dog’s age and adult weight.
Which of these is your dog?
If your dog is a puppy
Choose Puppy. It is made for growth, for puppies of every breed until they are fully grown, and it also suits pregnant and nursing dogs.
If your dog is an adult under 10 kg
Choose Adult Small Breed. Everyday food for small adult dogs, in a smaller kibble that suits a smaller mouth.
If your dog is an adult over 10 kg
Choose Adult Medium to Large Breed. Everyday food for medium and large adult dogs, in a kibble sized for them.
If your dog is over seven, or needs to lose weight
Choose Senior and Weight Management. A lower-fat recipe for older dogs of every size, and for adults who need to watch their weight.
All four are made with insect protein and gluten-free ancient grains, and without chicken, beef, egg, dairy, soy, wheat and maize. The difference between them is the balance of nutrients and the size of the kibble.

Questions about choosing
My dog weighs about 10 kg. Which adult recipe should I choose?
Go by your dog’s adult weight: under 10 kg, Adult Small Breed; over 10 kg, Adult Medium to Large Breed. For a dog right on the line, look at the kibble: Adult Small Breed has the smaller kibble. If you are still unsure, ask us and we will help you decide.
When should my puppy move to an adult recipe?
At about 12 months for most dogs. Large breeds grow for longer and can stay on Puppy until about 18 months. If you are unsure whether your dog has finished growing, ask your vet. Change over gradually, as described in our guide to switching food.
When is a dog a senior?
From about seven years old. That is when many dogs become less active and do well on a lower-fat food, though a fit, active older dog can stay on an adult recipe. Your vet can help you judge.
What should I feed a pregnant or nursing dog?
Puppy. A pregnant or nursing dog needs more from her food, and Puppy is made for growth. Ask your vet how much to feed at each stage.
I have more than one dog. Do I need a different food for each?
Each dog does best on the recipe made for its age and size, so in a mixed household that usually means more than one food. A puppy should stay on Puppy until it is fully grown, and a dog who needs to lose weight needs its own measured bowl of Senior and Weight Management. Feed the dogs separately, so that each one eats its own portion.
My dog needs to lose weight but is not old. Can they eat the senior recipe?
Yes. Senior and Weight Management is for adults of any age who need to watch their weight, as well as for older dogs. Weigh the daily portion, count treats as part of it, and ask your vet to check your dog’s body condition.
Can you help me choose?
Yes. Email support@nalahealth.dog with your dog’s age, breed, weight and current food, and we will suggest a recipe.
