Nutrition is a cornerstone of Finnish Lapphund health. An adult Finnish Lapphund weighing 15–24kg typically requires 950–1150 kcal of high-quality food per day, split across two meals to support consistent energy levels and healthy digestion. Always adjust portions based on your dog's individual weight, life stage, and activity level, and consult your vet before making significant dietary changes.
Portion sizes are approximate guidelines for a medium-breed dog. Adjust based on your dog's individual weight, age, and activity level. Always consult your vet.
The following foods are toxic to dogs. Some are fatal even in small quantities. Keep them completely out of reach of your Finnish Lapphund.
Can cause acute kidney failure
Causes hypoglycaemia and liver failure
Theobromine poisoning; can be fatal
Damages red blood cells, causes anaemia
Weakness, vomiting, tremors, hyperthermia
Splintering; risk of internal puncture
