• Medium dogs, 10–25kg: 170–330g or 1⅓–2½ cups daily

• Large dogs, 25–40kg: 330–480g or 2½–3⅔ cups daily

For working dogs with high energy needs:

• Small dogs, 5–10kg: 170–250g or 1⅓–2 cups daily

• Medium dogs, 10–25kg: 250–480g or approximately 2–3⅔ cups daily

Use the guide as a starting point and adjust the daily amount according to workload, age, breed, body condition, climate and whether other foods are being fed. Dogs working long days may need more than dogs resting between jobs.

Introduce Cobber Working Dog gradually over several days when changing from another food. Always provide clean, fresh drinking water, particularly during work and hot Australian weather.

Is This the Right Food for My Dog?

Cobber Working Dog is intended for adult working dogs with moderate to high energy requirements. Its higher protein, fat and calorie levels are suited to dogs completing regular physical work rather than inactive household dogs.

It is not a puppy formula. Growing puppies should be fed Cobber Puppy or another complete food formulated for growth. Less active adult dogs that gain weight easily may be better suited to a lower-energy maintenance or healthy-weight formula.
