Frequently Asked Questions

Is Vitalin Pork with Apple Good for Dogs Who Dislike Chicken?

Yes — Vitalin Pork with Apple is an excellent alternative for dogs who are bored of chicken-based recipes or who have a preference for a different flavour. While this recipe does contain chicken oil and chicken gravy, pork is the primary meat protein. If your dog has a confirmed chicken allergy, take a look at our Vitalin Lamb with Mint Adult Grain Free 12kg, which is formulated as a single animal protein recipe with no chicken.

Is Vitalin Pork with Apple Good for Senior Dogs?

Yes — this recipe is formulated for adult dogs of every age, including seniors. The added glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM make it particularly well suited to older dogs whose joints may need extra support, while the prebiotic and paraprobiotic blend helps maintain digestive health as dogs age. If you have a senior dog with specific health conditions, always consult your vet for tailored advice.

How Much Should I Feed My Dog?

Feeding amounts vary depending on your dog's size, age, breed, and activity level. A full feeding guide is included below — as a general rule, adult dogs should be fed twice per day based on their ideal body weight, not their current weight. When switching to Vitalin, transition gradually over 5–10 days to allow your dog's digestive system to adjust. Always ensure fresh drinking water is available.

Does Vitalin Pork with Apple Contain Grain?

Yes — Vitalin Pork with Apple includes whole barley and naked oats as digestible, slow-release energy sources. These wholegrains provide sustained energy throughout the day. If your dog has a grain sensitivity or intolerance, take a look at our Vitalin Grain Free Dog Food range — including the popular Vitalin Chicken with Thyme & Root Veg Adult Grain Free 12kg.

How Does Vitalin Pork with Apple Support Joint Health?

Each kilogram contains glucosamine (340mg), chondroitin (240mg), and MSM (340mg) — a trio of well-established joint-support nutrients that help maintain cartilage, reduce stiffness, and support mobility. This makes Pork with Apple an excellent everyday food for active adult dogs and ageing seniors alike, without the need for separate joint supplements.

Is There a Smaller Bag Available?

Yes — if you'd like to try the recipe before committing to the 12kg, the Vitalin Pork with Apple 2kg is a great starting point, particularly for smaller dogs or households with one dog. The 12kg bag offers significantly better value per kilogram for larger dogs or multi-dog households.
