Puli Diet & Feeding Guide

Back to Puli Overview

Nutrition is a cornerstone of Puli health. An adult Puli weighing 10–15kg typically requires 750–950 kcal of high-quality food per day, split across two meals to support consistent energy levels and healthy digestion. Their high energy output means Pulis need a calorie-dense diet — look for a working- or active-dog formula with at least 25% protein content. Always adjust portions based on your dog's individual weight, life stage, and activity level, and consult your vet before making significant dietary changes.
