Common Questions About Fresh Dog Food for Pitbulls

Most adult Pitbulls do best with two meals per day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Pitbull puppies typically need three to four smaller meals per day. Consistent feeding times help regulate digestion and energy levels, which is especially important for Pitbulls prone to ear infections.

The best protein sources for Pitbulls are 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.

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 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.

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.

Pitbull 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 Pitbulls, 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 Pitbulls are prone to chicken allergy, easily digestible proteins and minimal ingredient lists are especially important.

Yes, gently-cooked dog food is an excellent 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 especially benefit from the improved digestibility of gently-cooked meals.
