Practical Feeding Guidelines
Meal Frequency
Feed 2 measured meals per day — morning and evening works best.
Portion Control
Always measure portions with a kitchen scale or measuring cup. Treats should not exceed 10% of daily calories.
Hydration
Ensure fresh water is always available. A Hovawart needs approximately 37–73 oz of water daily.
Weight Monitoring
Weigh your Hovawart monthly and adjust portions accordingly. Ideal body condition means you can feel (but not see) the ribs.
