QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Common Questions About Fresh Dog Food for Golden Retrievers

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

Adult Golden Retrievers are commonly fed two meals per day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Golden Retriever 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 Golden Retrievers prone to itchy paws & skin.

Suitable protein options for Golden Retrievers may include high-quality, named animal proteins, chicken, beef, turkey, or fish. For Golden Retrievers prone to sensitive stomach, 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.

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

Golden Retriever feeding amounts depend on their weight, age, and activity level. As a general guide, most Golden Retrievers 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.

Golden Retriever puppies have higher protein and calorie needs than adults to support their growth and development. Tom&Sawyer® meals are formulated to support adult dogs, and some are also suitable for extra small, small, and medium breed puppies with the use of our Puppy Booster. We recommend speaking with your veterinarian about a Golden Retriever’s specific needs. Tom&Sawyer meals can be used as a tasty meal topper in large breeds.

For Golden Retrievers, 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 Golden Retrievers can be prone to sensitive stomachs, easily digestible proteins and minimal ingredient lists are especially important.
