How often should I feed my Pitbull?

Adult Pitbulls are commonly fed two meals per day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Pitbull puppies are often fed three to four smaller meals per day. Consistent feeding times may help regulate digestion and energy levels, which may be helpful for Pitbulls prone to ear infections.

What protein sources are best for Pitbulls?

Suitable protein options for Pitbulls may include high-quality, named animal proteins, chicken, beef, turkey, or fish. For Pitbulls prone to chicken allergy, a single-protein or limited ingredient recipe can help identify and avoid triggers. Tom&Sawyer uses human grade meat in every recipe, with no byproducts or mystery proteins.

What is human grade dog food and why does it matter for Pitbulls?

Human grade dog food means every ingredient meets the same safety and quality standards as food made for people. For Pitbulls, this matters because it avoids the low-quality byproducts and fillers found in most commercial pet food. Tom&Sawyer prepares all meals in a human grade kitchen in Canada, regulated to AAFCO standards.

How much should I feed my Pitbull per day?

Pitbull feeding amounts depend on their weight, age, and activity level. As a general guide, most Pitbulls do well with two meals per day, morning and evening. Use the Tom&Sawyer Feeding Calculator to get a portion size tailored specifically to your dog.

Are Tom&Sawyer meals suitable for Pitbull puppies?

Tom&Sawyer dog meals are formulated for adult maintenance and some are also suitable for extra small, small, and medium breed puppies with the use of our Puppy Booster. If you have a Pitbull puppy, speak with your veterinarian about their growth-stage nutrition needs. Tom&Sawyer meals can be used as a tasty meal topper in large breeds.

What ingredients should I look for in dog food for my Pitbull?

For Pitbulls, prioritize recipes with a named animal protein as the first ingredient, such as chicken, beef, or turkey. Helpful features can include whole vegetables, healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids, and no artificial preservatives or fillers. Given that Pitbulls can be prone to chicken allergy, easily digestible proteins and minimal ingredient lists are especially important.

Is gently-cooked dog food good for Pitbulls?

Yes, gently-cooked dog food can be a suitable choice for Pitbulls. Cooking at low heat preserves the natural vitamins and minerals found in fresh ingredients, which are often destroyed in high-heat kibble manufacturing. Pitbulls with chicken allergy may especially benefit from the improved digestibility of gently-cooked meals.
