Dog Food for Bearded Collies
The Bearded Collie is a Scottish herding dog with a bouncy, happy-go-lucky personality and a long, shaggy double coat that falls over its face into the signature "beard." Beardies are energetic, clownish, and devoted. They usually weigh 45 to 55 lb, and their coat needs frequent brushing to stay mat-free.
Beardie owners want coat support and steady energy for a dog that rarely sits still.
Why Your Best Friend fits Bearded Collies

Gentle on sensitive stomachs
Salmon and fish are the protein, with no chicken, corn, wheat, or soy, plus pre-, pro-, and postbiotics for steady digestion.
Heart health, guaranteed
Guaranteed taurine (0.10% min) and L-Carnitine (300 mg/kg min), in one formula from puppyhood through the senior years.
How much to feed a Bearded Collie
These are starting points for an average adult with a normal activity level. A thick coat can hide weight gain, so feel for the ribs regularly and adjust portions to keep your dog lean.
| Adult weight | Cups per day | A 28 lb bag lasts about |
|---|---|---|
| 45 lb | 2¾ | 6 weeks |
| 55 lb | 3¼ | 5 weeks |
Puppies need more food per pound than adults, so split their daily amount into three or four meals. Your vet can help you fine-tune portions as your puppy grows.
