Bakers dog food feeding guide
We do not publish a separate Bakers feeding guide beyond what is on the pack itself — the guide printed on each bag, based on your dog's weight, is the one to follow, since it is calculated for that specific recipe's calorie content. What we can help with is understanding how to use it properly, and what the wider Bakers range includes.
How to use the feeding guide on the pack
Every Bakers recipe carries its own feeding table on the bag, listing a daily amount by your dog's weight. Weigh your dog and your food rather than estimating either, since guessing a portion by eye is one of the most common reasons a dog ends up over or underweight despite an owner following 'the guide' in spirit.
The number on the pack is a starting point, not a fixed rule — an adjustment up or down over the following weeks, based on how your dog's body condition actually looks, matters more than sticking rigidly to the printed figure. A dog gaining weight on the stated amount needs less than the guide suggests for their situation, and vice versa.
What the Bakers range includes
Bakers sits at the everyday, widely available end of the dry dog food market, with recipes such as its Superfoods range and a senior formula aimed at older dogs, alongside a line of meaty treats including its Sizzlers bacon-flavour range. It is generally positioned as a straightforward, accessible everyday food rather than a premium or specialist one.
As with any brand, whether a specific Bakers recipe suits your dog comes down to their individual age, size and any known sensitivities, rather than the brand name itself. Introduce any new Bakers product gradually alongside your dog's current food if you are switching.

Common questions
- How much Bakers dog food should I feed my dog?
- Follow the feeding table printed on your specific Bakers product for your dog's current weight, since the right amount depends on that recipe's exact calorie content. Adjust gradually over the following weeks based on whether your dog is gaining or losing weight at that amount.
- Is Bakers a good brand for senior dogs?
- Bakers does include a senior-specific recipe formulated with an older dog's needs in mind. Whether it suits your particular dog still depends on their individual health and any conditions a vet may be managing, so it is worth a quick check with them if your senior dog has ongoing health needs.
- Are Bakers Sizzlers treats suitable for training?
- Yes, they are a popular meaty treat for everyday reward-based training, though like any treat they should be factored into your dog's daily food total rather than added entirely on top of a full meal, particularly during sessions with frequent rewarding.
- Can I switch between different Bakers recipes without a transition period?
- It is safer to introduce any new recipe gradually over several days, mixing increasing amounts of the new food with the old, even when switching within the same brand. This gives your dog's digestive system time to adjust and lowers the chance of loose stools during the changeover.
