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

The Vizsla is a high-performance engine that requires premium fuel. A high-protein, moderate-fat diet is essential to maintain their lean muscle mass and fuel their explosive energy. For an adult weighing 25kg, expect to feed about 350-400g of high-quality dry kibble daily, ideally split into two meals to prevent bloat (GDV), a risk in deep-chested breeds. Avoid fillers like corn or soy; they need real meat sources. Monitor their weight closely—you should be able to feel their ribs but not see them prominently. Adjust portions based on daily activity; a hunting day requires 30% more calories.
