IntroductionGlanbia plc., Gain Feed’s parent company, is an international food company, providing nutritional solutions for both humans and animals, and supplying many unique ingredients such as TruCal milk Calcium and high Omega-3 Linseed.

Gain Feeds is Ireland’s biggest selling animal feed brand, providing complete nutrition for a wide range of animals, such as dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry. The superior quality of Gain Feeds is best demonstrated by the exceptional performances achieved by Gain-fed horses, greyhounds and show dogs, in Ireland and abroad.

Glanbia’s team of nutritionists has now developed a new scientific approach to the feeding of pet dogs. They divided the entire dog population into five distinct groups based on their different nutritional requirements. Using the concept of Precision Nutrition, the team then formulated a specific premium food for each of the groups, collectively called the Gain Elite LifeSize Range.

To ensure your dog is receivingthe correct food, it is criticalthat it is allocated to the correctgroup, based on its age andsize (see pages 3 – 7).

Dog Weight (mature)

The dog population is divided into 5 groups, based on their different nutritional requirements.

Based on its age and weight, allocate your dog to one of the 5 distinct LifeSize Groups (see colour-coded chart below).

Having allocated your dog to the correct group, you now need to feed the corresponding colour-coded product from the Gain Elite LifeSize Range (see above).

If you are not sure of the weight of your dog, please check the list of breeds on pages 5 and 7.

Note: Feed Gain Active to highly active working and sporting dogs (see website: www.gainfeeds.com)
