Newfoundland Dog Calorie Needs & Nutrition Guide

Newfoundlands are massive, gentle, and excellent swimmers. Their calorie needs are higher than average, with adults needing 1,500 to 2,500 calories per day. Puppies and working Newfoundlands may require more.

Feed your Newfoundland a diet rich in animal proteins, healthy fats, and fiber. Avoid foods with fillers and artificial additives. Wet food can help with hydration, while dry food supports dental health. Always provide fresh water and consider supplements for joint health.
