Skinner's Field & Trial Puppy Chicken is one of the more calorie-dense dry dog foods we track: at 3,860 kcal per kg it has more energy than 76% of the 46 dry dog foods in our list. You will pour less of it than you might expect.
To show how much the food matters: a 7 kg puppy needs about 602 kcal a day. That is 156 g of this food, but 146 g of Purina Pro Plan Small and Mini Puppy Healthy Start Chicken and 184 g of Bakers Meaty Meals Chicken. Same dog, same day, very different scoops.
Puppies need about three times their resting energy until 4 months, then about twice. Weigh weekly, because the portion changes as they grow.
