Recommended food
Super-premium kibble with high meat content (≥40%), grain-free or whole grain. Reference brands: Orijen, Acana, Taste of the Wild, Eukanuba.
Budget alternative
On a tight budget, Advance, Purina Pro Plan or Nutro Wholesome offer mid-high quality at reasonable prices. Avoid brands with grains as first ingredient.
Nutrition
A Samoyed's skin and coat health are directly tied to their diet. They need high-quality kibble rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids to keep that white fur glowing and prevent dry skin. For an adult weighing 25kg, expect to feed about 350-400g of premium food daily, divided into two meals. Be very careful with calorie intake, as this breed gains weight easily under all that fluff, and obesity drastically increases the risk of diabetes and joint issues. Avoid low-quality fillers that can cause 'tear staining' or coat dullness.
