Which GAIN / GAIN Elite Food Is Right for My Dog?
Choosing a GAIN food becomes much easier when you start with three things: your dog's age, their expected adult size and whether they need a standard or a more specific diet.

Is your dog a puppy?
If yes:
Small breed / expected adult weight under 20kg → GAIN Elite Small Dogs Puppy
Large breed / expected adult weight over 20kg → GAIN Elite Big Dogs Puppy
It's your puppy's expected adult weight, rather than their current weight, that determines whether the Small Dogs or Big Dogs puppy food is appropriate. -
Is your dog an adult?

Does your dog need help maintaining a healthy weight?
