If your dog’s routine has started to feel a bit… stale, you’re not alone. As the seasons change, so do our dogs’ energy levels, behaviours, and needs.
Maybe they’re leaving food in the bowl, getting bored on walks, or just not as eager at mealtimes. The good news? A few simple tweaks, like adjusting their portion, upgrading their treats, or adding new outdoor enrichment can make a big difference.
Here’s how to refresh your dog’s daily routine this spring to boost energy, interest, and well-being.
1. Check Their Feeding Amount as the Weather Warms Up
As your dog becomes more active, they may start burning more calories and their diet might need a little tweak.
Our feeding calculator is a great place to start, but the real clues lie in body condition and stool quality. If your dog looks leaner, hungrier, or has changed their poop pattern, they might be telling you they need more (or less) food.
Wolfworthy makes this simple, with two high-quality, all-life-stage recipes:
-
Original Recipe – A mix of fresh meat, organ cuts, and eggs
-
Oily Fish Recipe – Salmon, trout, haddock, and herring for omega-rich skin and coat support
👉 Use our feeding calculator to adjust by weight and activity
2. Take Mealtimes Outside
Spring is the ideal time to mix up mealtimes with enrichment. Scatter-feed in the garden, hide kibble in long grass, or bring a bag of Wolfworthy on your next woodland walk for some trail-based training.
This type of feeding:
-
Slows down fast eaters
-
Engages your dog’s natural instincts
-
Adds variety without changing their diet
It’s stimulation, exercise, and a bonding moment all rolled into one.
3. Reset the Treat Tin (Ditch the Junk, Keep the Good Stuff)
Let’s face it, most dog treats are marketing over substance.
Take a look at the back of a popular dog biscuit box or dental stick pack and you’ll often find:
-
Grain fillers
-
Meat derivatives
-
Vegetable by-products
-
Artificial flavourings and colours
-
And a surprisingly long list of unpronounceables
Even some so-called "dental health" treats are high in starch and sugar, which can actually feed the bacteria you're trying to combat. Others are bulked out with ingredients that don’t serve your dog’s health, just shelf life.
At Wolfworthy, we take a different approach. Here’s what your dog actually deserves:
-
Rabbit Treats – Light and lean, perfect for sensitive tummies
-
Wild Boar Treats – High in protein and bold in flavour
-
Venison Treats – Single protein and ideal for high-value training moments
Our treats are 100% natural, single-protein, air-dried, and completely free from grains, fillers, and additives, just real nutrition, nothing else.
4. Quick Spring Health Check
Spring is a great time to take stock of your dog’s overall condition, just like we check in with ourselves after a long winter.
Noticing any of the following?
-
Coat a little dull or flaky?
-
Weight creeping up (or down)?
-
Breath not as fresh as usual?
-
Less enthusiasm for mealtimes or walks?
These small signs can point to diet imbalances or nutrient gaps and that’s where food makes all the difference.
These are signs your dog might need a diet adjustment or health boost. Wolfworthy’s nutrient-dense recipes are designed to support skin, coat, joints, and gut health and they’re easy to feed, no mess required.

A Few Small Changes Can Go a Long Way
Refreshing your dog’s routine doesn’t mean reinventing the wheel. A few thoughtful tweaks, better treats, a new feeding strategy, or outdoor enrichment, can reinvigorate their health and happiness.
