How much should I feed my Rottweiler per day?

Rottweiler feeding amounts depend on their weight, age, and activity level. As a general guide, most Rottweilers 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 Rottweiler puppies?

Rottweiler puppies have higher protein and calorie needs than adults to support their growth and development. 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. Speak with your veterinarian about your Rottweiler pup's specific nutritional needs. Tom&Sawyer meals can be used as a tasty meal topper.

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

For Rottweilers, 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 Rottweilers can be prone to itchy paws & skin, easily digestible proteins and minimal ingredient lists are especially important.

Is gently-cooked dog food good for Rottweilers?

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

How often should I feed my Rottweiler?

Adult Rottweilers are commonly fed two meals per day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Rottweiler 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 Rottweilers prone to environmental allergies.

What protein sources are best for Rottweilers?

Suitable protein options for Rottweilers may include high-quality, named animal proteins, chicken, beef, turkey, or fish. For Rottweilers prone to itchy paws & skin, 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 Rottweilers?

Human grade dog food means every ingredient meets the same safety and quality standards as food made for people. For Rottweilers, 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.
