Dog food for sterilised dogs
Dog food for sterilised dogs
After your dog's sterilisation, more changes than you might initially think. The metabolism slows down, and your dog needs less energy, but still enough protein to maintain muscle mass. With the right food you help them stay at a healthy weight, without compromising on essential nutrients.
What should a sterilised dog eat?
Due to the hormonal change after sterilisation, your dog needs less energy than before. Food with fewer calories and fat, but enough protein, is the best choice. This helps prevent weight gain without your dog losing muscle mass. Extra fibre also ensures they feel fuller for longer.
Which food after sterilisation?
Choose food with a lower calorie and fat content and a higher protein content. Food with extra fibre provides a longer feeling of satiety, which nicely prevents greedy eating.

How much food should you give a sterilised dog?
The right amount depends on your dog's ideal body weight, age and activity level. Use the guidelines on the packaging as a starting point, but weigh portions to be sure. Divide the daily amount over two meals. Keep an eye on your dog's weight and adjust the portion as needed. If in doubt, consult your vet.

Frequently asked questions
Will my dog gain weight after sterilisation?
Weight gain is a known risk after sterilisation, as the metabolism slows down. With adapted nutrition, the right portion and enough exercise, you can keep this well under control.
Why does a sterilised dog need fewer calories?
After sterilisation, the production of sex hormones decreases, slowing the metabolism. Without adapting the food, your dog can gain weight quite quickly.
When should I switch to food for sterilised dogs?
It is advisable to switch shortly after sterilisation. Do this gradually over 5 to 7 days to prevent digestive problems.
Can I just give less of the normal food?
In theory yes, but food specifically for sterilised or light dogs is better formulated: it provides sufficient nutrients with a lower calorie intake.
Does my sterilised dog also need snacks?
Snacks are fine, but count them in your dog's daily calorie intake. Choose small, lean snacks and reduce the main food portion slightly.
