Common Questions About Fresh Dog Food for Border Collies

Human grade dog food means every ingredient meets the same safety and quality standards as food made for people. For Border Collies, this matters because it eliminates 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.
Border Collie feeding amounts depend on their weight, age, and activity level. As a general guide, most Border Collies 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.
Border Collie puppies have higher protein and calorie needs than adults to support their growth and development. Look for recipes with high-quality animal protein as the first ingredient. Tom&Sawyer's gently-cooked meals are suitable for puppies, check the feeding guide for age-appropriate portions.
For Border Collies, prioritize recipes with a named animal protein as the first ingredient, such as chicken, beef, or turkey. Look for whole vegetables, healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids, and no artificial preservatives or fillers. Given that Border Collies are prone to itchy paws & skin, easily digestible proteins and minimal ingredient lists are especially important.
Yes, gently-cooked dog food is an excellent choice for Border Collies. Cooking at low heat preserves the natural vitamins and minerals found in fresh ingredients, which are often destroyed in high-heat kibble manufacturing. Border Collies with itchy paws & skin especially benefit from the improved digestibility of gently-cooked meals.
Most adult Border Collies do best with two meals per day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Border Collie puppies typically need three to four smaller meals per day. Consistent feeding times help regulate digestion and energy levels, which is especially important for Border Collies prone to beef allergy.
The best protein sources for Border Collies are high-quality, named animal proteins, chicken, beef, turkey, or fish. For Border Collies 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.
