What does a Pont-Audemer Spaniel need in their diet?

An energetic and affectionate Pont-Audemer Spaniel thrives on a diet rich in lean proteins, healthy fats, digestible fibres, and balanced hydration to support their muscles, joints, and alert minds.

Pont-Audemer Spaniels are active sporting dogs that benefit from daily exercise. Their meals should support muscle recovery and joint health, making lean, high-quality proteins essential. Healthy fats - particularly omega-3s - bolster endurance and help maintain a soft, shiny coat and comfortable skin.

Complete, balanced meals made from fresh, gently cooked ingredients offer better nutrient availability and natural hydration, supporting endurance and recovery after activity. Feeding consistently and matching calories to activity levels also help prevent unwanted weight gain, one of the simplest ways to protect joints and support steady energy over time.

• High-quality protein keeps muscles strong and energy reliable.
• Balanced fibre and prebiotics such as chicory root and yucca encourage steady digestion and fewer tummy upsets.
• Adequate hydration from fresh, slow-cooked meals supports performance and recovery.

What key ingredients help this breed thrive?

Quality proteins, healthy fats, fibre-rich vegetables, micronutrients, and prebiotic ingredients help Pont-Audemer Spaniels flourish.

To match their boundless energy, Pont-Audemer Spaniels do well on meals built around selected proteins like chicken, beef, lamb, or salmon. These provide the amino acids needed for strong muscles while avoiding unnecessary excess fat. Digestible carbohydrates from whole vegetables and grains supply slow-release energy for long days outdoors.

Marleybones Pantry Fresh® recipes include omega-rich oils to support skin, coat, and brain function, along with vegetables and herbs chosen for vitamins and minerals that assist immune and joint health. Natural prebiotics such as chicory root and yucca enhance nutrient absorption and support gentle digestion - vital for sporting breeds that need consistent energy.

• Hero proteins: Chicken, beef, lamb, or salmon to support lean muscle.
• Fibre and prebiotics: Root vegetables, chicory root, and yucca to promote gut health and steady energy.
• Omega oils and micronutrients: Flaxseed oil and selected herbs to complete a balanced diet.

How to choose and serve the right meal plan

Select recipes rich in clean protein, healthy fats, and nutrient-dense vegetable blends - and adjust for your spaniel's activity level and seasonal needs.

The key is matching food to the individual dog and adapting over time. Opt for recipes featuring lean proteins (chicken, lamb, salmon), balanced healthy fats, and restorative root vegetables. Rotating proteins - such as Chic Chicken, Lush Lamb, and Sassy Salmon - adds nutritional variety and sustains interest for fussy eaters.

Activity levels change with seasons and age, so adjust portion sizes accordingly. Marleybones' portioned meal boxes take the guesswork out of feeding - simply choose the box that aligns with your dog's profile. For added support, a small drizzle of Marleybones Omega Oil can enhance coat and joint condition, and targeted supplements can be used if advised by your vet. Consistent, balanced meals and mindful portion control form the foundation of long-term vitality.

• Choose varied, high-quality proteins and fibrous vegetables
• Tailor portions to exercise - Marleybones portioning makes this simple
• Consider supplements like Omega Oil for coat and joint support where needed

FAQ

How many calories should a Pont-Audemer Spaniel eat each day?

Their calorie intake depends on age, size, and activity, but active adult Pont-Audemer Spaniels typically need around 900–1,400 calories daily. Use a personalised meal-planning quiz or consult your vet to refine the exact amount for your dog.

Can a one-year-old and an eight-year-old spaniel share the same Marleybones meal plan?

Yes. Marleybones Pantry Fresh® meals are complete and balanced for all life stages, so both young and older spaniels can enjoy the same recipes. Adjust portion sizes to reflect age, weight, and health needs.

What ingredients should I avoid for sensitive spaniel digestion?

Minimise artificial preservatives, unnecessary fillers, and low-quality meat derivatives. Choose meals with clear protein sources, natural prebiotic fibres like chicory root and yucca, and clean vegetables - these are generally gentler on sensitive stomachs.

How does slow-cooking benefit my dog's nutrient absorption?

Slow-cooking within the pack preserves nutrients that can be lost in high-heat processing and makes proteins and vegetables easier to digest. The result is a meal that's naturally flavourful and more bioavailable for your dog.

Is a Pantry Fresh® meal suitable before or after intense training sessions?

Yes. Pantry Fresh® meals provide balanced energy and natural hydration, making them ideal for pre- or post-activity feeding to support muscle recovery and sustained stamina.
