Choosing the Best High-Protein Pumi Dog Food

In regard to weight, the Pumi is a small to average dog generally weighing 27-29 pounds (male), 22-24 pounds (female). The Pumi is also considered a medium-tall dog in regard to height, with an average height of 16-18. 5 inches (male), 15-17. 5 inches (female). If you're trying to figure out the optimal dog food for your Pumi, you should definitely consider the option of a high-protein dog food like those available from Spot & Tango. The Pumi is an AKC Registered breed in the 'Herding Group' with roots originating back to Hungary. The ready to work, energetic and lively Pumi with an alert and responsive demeanor, generally does particularly well on a high-protein dog food. This is thanks, in part to, its small to average size combined with its moderately active energy levels.

Why Breeds, Like the Pumi in the AKC Herding Group May Need a High-Protein Dog Food

Like all dog breeds within the AKC’s Herding Group, the Pumi has an instinctive ability to control the movements, or 'gather', other animals. Originally bred to protect or herd livestock, the Pumi is a breed that used to run non-stop for most of the day. However, changes to the Pumi in modern-day society leave the breed less active than in years past. We'd recommend the Pumi a high-protein dog food to help the dog manage their weight and still provide them plenty of protein for their naturally active lifestyle.

Why A Moderately Active Pumi May Need a High-Protein Dog Food

The Pumi is considered a moderately active dog and thus your Pumi could benefit from a high-protein dog food due to that simple fact alone. A dog food rich in high-protein helps to build muscle and support the energy levels of a moderately active Pumi. Furthermore, the calories in high-protein dog food are more efficiently used by a moderately active dog like the Pumi. In fact, dogs that don't receive enough protein can actually experience muscle loss and see a noticeable drop in energy levels. Lastly, a high-protein dog food that's optimal for the Pumi is low in carbohydrates which are a non-essential component of a healthy diet for most dogs, but especially true for a moderately active Pumi.

Does a Small to Average Pumi Benefit From a High-Protein Dog Food?

The Pumi is a small to average, medium-tall dog weighing in at over 27 pounds. Dogs of this size could benefit from a well-rounded diet that have all the necessary nutrients for their small to average frame.
