Yes, Inukshuk 26/16 can be a good fit for many regular pet dogs when the feeding amount matches their activity level and body condition.
26/16 is often the best starting point for household dogs, puppies, seniors, and dogs with moderate daily activity. Because Inukshuk is nutrient-dense, many dogs need less food by volume than they did on another brand.
Start with the feeding guide, then adjust based on your dog’s weight, stool quality, appetite, and overall condition.

Yes, Inukshuk 26/16 is an All Life Stage formula and is suitable for puppies when fed according to the feeding guidelines.
For most puppies, 26/16 is the recommended starting formula. It provides balanced nutrition for growing dogs without starting them on a higher energy adult formula too early.
Monitor your puppy’s growth, body condition, and stool quality as they develop. If you are unsure about your puppy’s feeding needs, contact our team or speak with your veterinarian.

Yes, Inukshuk 26/16 is the best starting formula for many dogs.
It is often used for household companions, puppies, seniors, and dogs with regular to moderate activity levels. It is also a good place to begin if you are new to Inukshuk and want to see how your dog responds before moving to a higher energy formula.
If your dog needs more calories to maintain weight or condition, you can consider moving to 30/25, Marine 30/25, or 32/32 depending on their needs.
-
Start with the feeding guide on the bag, then adjust based on your dog’s body condition, activity level, stool quality, and weight.
Because 26/16 is nutrient-dense, your dog may need less food than they did on another brand. Feeding amount can also change with age, season, workload, and daily activity.
If your dog is gaining unwanted weight, reduce the amount slightly. If your dog is losing weight or struggling to maintain condition, increase gradually or consider whether a higher energy formula is a better fit.
-
Inukshuk 26/16 is an All Life Stage formula and is often the best starting point for regular dogs, puppies, seniors, and dogs with moderate activity.
Inukshuk 30/25 is a higher energy Adult Maintenance formula for adult dogs with greater daily demands. It may be a better fit for active dogs that need more calories than 26/16 provides.
If your dog is doing well on 26/16, there may be no need to move up. If your dog is losing weight, struggling to maintain condition, or working harder seasonally, 30/25 may be worth considering.
-
Consider moving from 26/16 to a higher energy formula if your adult dog is losing weight, struggling to maintain condition, eating a high volume of food, or increasing their daily workload.
30/25 and Marine 30/25 provide more energy than 26/16. 32/32 is the highest energy formula in the Inukshuk line and is typically used for very high-output dogs, endurance work, or hard keepers.
Make formula changes gradually and continue to monitor stool quality, body condition, and activity level.
