large breed
Every food below is scored against a Afghan Hound specifically, not against dogs in general. Breed changes how much each factor counts, which is why the same food can rank very differently from one breed to the next.
Target protein for a Afghan Hound sits between 24% and 29%, with fat ideally under 13%. The weighting above reflects a documented predisposition to gastric torsion, so foods that help there score better.
Resting requirement scaled for activity, for a neutered adult. Divide by the kcal per 100g on the pack to get grams.
| Weight | Low | Moderate | Active |

| 25kg | 845 | 986 | 1268 |
| 27kg | 895 | 1045 | 1343 |

A neutered adult Afghan Hound at the middle of the breed weight range, around 25kg, needs roughly 986 kcal a day at moderate activity. Convert that to grams using the kcal per 100g on the pack. Your own dog's actual weight matters more than the breed average, which is what the app uses.

Typically 23 to 27kg, classed as a large breed, with a usual lifespan of 12 to 14 years.
For this breed the two heaviest weighted factors are ingredient transparency and protein fit. Target protein sits between 24% and 29%, with fat ideally under 13%.
Scan the pack and PawsePal scores it against your dog's actual weight, age and any health conditions, then gives you the portion in grams.
Open PawsePalCalorie figures use the same resting energy calculation as the PawsePal app and assume a neutered adult. Weight ranges are breed typicals, not targets for an individual dog. This page is information, not veterinary advice.
