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

Human grade means every ingredient is suitable for human food before becoming part of your dog's meal. Tom&Sawyer uses premium proteins and whole food ingredients to create complete and balanced recipes dogs genuinely enjoy.

How much should I feed my Whippet per day?

The amount your Whippet should eat depends on body weight, age, activity level and overall condition. Following feeding guidelines and adjusting portions with your veterinarian helps maintain a healthy weight.

Are Tom&Sawyer meals suitable for Whippet puppies?

Tom&Sawyer dog meals are formulated for adult maintenance. If you have a Whippet puppy, speak with your veterinarian about their growth-stage nutrition needs. In Canada, Puppy Booster may be available for some puppies, but it is not available in the U.S. and should be used only when appropriate for your dog.

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

Look for recipes made with real meat, complete and balanced nutrition and recognizable whole food ingredients. Foods rich in wholesome choices provide greater ingredient quality and transparency.

Is gently-cooked dog food good for Whippets?

Gently-cooked meals are an excellent option for many Whippets because they combine real ingredients with outstanding digestibility and flavour. Tom&Sawyer recipes provide complete nutrition in every serving.

How often should I feed my Whippet?

Most healthy adult Whippets benefit from eating twice a day. Dividing their daily food into morning and evening meals helps support consistent energy and manageable portion sizes.
