working dogs, farm dogs, kennels and other highly active dogs.
Working Dog Feeding & Nutrition
Choose Food for Workload, Age & Body Condition
Working dogs may have higher energy demands than less active household
dogs, particularly during periods of regular farm work, training,
hunting, sporting activity or other sustained exercise.
The right food depends on the individual dog's age, breed, weight,
workload, climate and body condition. Compare the complete nutritional
profile, including protein, fat, calories and feeding guidance rather than
choosing food based on one nutrient alone.

Working Dog Feeders & Watering
Practical Feeding Equipment for Farms, Kennels & Rural Properties
Reliable feeding equipment can make everyday working-dog care easier,
especially on rural properties, farms, kennels and multi-dog households.
Larger-capacity feeders can reduce frequent refilling in suitable
situations, while automatic watering equipment can help maintain convenient
access to water when correctly installed and managed.
Browse our
Dog Feeders Australia
collection for practical feeding systems suited to different dogs and
environments.
Dogs that require controlled portions, weight management or a strict
feeding schedule may be better suited to measured meals rather than
continuous-access feeding.
All dogs should have reliable access to clean, fresh drinking water.
Training Rewards & Natural Chews
Working Dog Treats
Small reward-sized treats can be useful during recall, obedience,
handling and other positive reinforcement activities.
Natural chews can also provide supervised enrichment during suitable rest
periods. Choose chewing products according to the dog's size, dental
condition and chewing strength.
Working Dog Enrichment
KONG Dog Toys for Active & Working Dogs
KONG dog toys can form part of a working dog's enrichment routine during
suitable rest periods. Depending on the toy, KONG products may provide
chewing, food enrichment, fetch or interactive play.
Food-enrichment toys can be particularly useful for turning part of a
dog's normal food allowance into a more engaging activity.

the coat clean and make it easier to check the skin, paws and body for
minor issues requiring attention.
Grooming frequency should be adjusted according to coat type, environment
and activity level.
