Treeing Walker Coonhound feeding guide: how much and how often
Daily calories, portions by age and practical feeding tips for the Treeing Walker Coonhound.
A 27 kg (60 lb) active adult generally needs 330 to 420 g of dry food a day, around 3.25 to 4.25 cups; hunting dogs in season may need considerably more. Appetite varies widely between individuals, and some Walkers stay lean despite eating well. Aim for faintly visible last ribs and a clear waist.
Many hounds gulp their food. A slow feeder bowl helps, and so does avoiding hard exercise just before or after meals. Keep kitchen counters clear: a Walker's nose combined with its height makes it an expert counter-surfer, and a loaf of bread or a roasting tin left near the edge is fair game.
Pet Walkers that are less active than their working relatives can gain weight surprisingly quickly, which strains joints and shortens their active years. When your dog slows down with age, cut portions to match.
