Josera is a German pet food maker, and its online shop lists dozens of dog foods. That is great if you like choice, but it can make picking a bag harder than it needs to be. The simplest way to narrow it down is to start with your dog’s life stage and then look at size, activity level and sensitivities.
This guide goes through six dry foods from the Josera shop: Kids, Mini Junior Duck & Salmon, Chicken & Rice, Optiness, Senior Salmon & Rice and Hypoallergenic. Details and prices come from the product pages as we read them on 28 October 2026, and the claims are the brand’s own. You can see the full range on the Josera shop.

Start With Life Stage and Size
Puppies, adults and seniors need different amounts of energy, protein and minerals, and the size of the kibble matters too. Josera sorts its range by life stage, breed size (small up to 10 kg, medium 10-25 kg, large from 25 kg), activity and special needs such as a sensitive stomach. Use those filters as a starting point, and talk to your vet if your dog has a health condition.
Puppies: Josera Kids and Mini Junior
Kids is described by the brand as a gluten-free puppy food for medium and large breeds from the sixth week of life, with larger kibble for bigger puppies. The recipe uses chicken and rice, with 79 percent animal protein as a share of total protein, a balanced calcium-phosphorus ratio for bone growth, and green-lipped mussel and salmon oil for the joints. Josera says it can be fed into adulthood without a change of food. A 12.5 kg bag was listed at EUR 44.09 (list price EUR 48.99) and a 3 kg bag at EUR 17.49.
Mini Junior Duck & Salmon is the small-breed version. It has small, crunchy kibble of about 10.5 mm, duck and salmon as the main proteins, and herbs and fruit. The brand adds that it can help reduce the risk of tartar, and that it too can be fed through to adulthood. A 10 kg bag was listed at EUR 49.99, 3 kg at EUR 19.99 and 900 g at EUR 6.69.
The Kids page also includes a feeding chart based on the expected adult weight. For a dog expected to reach 30 kg, the brand lists 205-240 g per day at 1.5-2 months, rising to 360-435 g at 13-20 months. Always follow the chart on the pack you buy.
Adults: Chicken & Rice and Optiness
Chicken & Rice is Josera’s easy-digesting adult food for normally active dogs of all breeds. It is gluten-free, has 79 percent animal protein as a share of total protein, and includes fatty acids for skin and coat. The brand highlights its IMMUNE PLUS ingredient, based on yeast cell walls with a prebiotic effect. The shop showed a 4.9-star average from 621 reviews, and prices of EUR 39.99 for 12.5 kg, EUR 13.99 for 3 kg and EUR 4.69 for 900 g, which makes it the lowest-priced option in this guide.
Optiness is aimed at medium and large breeds. Its kibble is extra large, about 24 mm long, which the brand says helps reduce gulping. The recipe uses lamb and rice without maize, has 77 percent animal protein as a share of total protein and a reduced protein content to ease the load on the organs. A 12.5 kg bag was listed at EUR 46.74 and a 3 kg bag at EUR 17.99.
Seniors: Josera Senior Salmon & Rice
For older dogs of all breeds, Josera offers Senior Salmon & Rice. The brand describes it as low in fat to help prevent excess weight, with lower protein and reduced minerals to ease the strain on the kidneys. Extra salmon oil provides omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA), and IMMUNE PLUS is included. The listed prices were EUR 47.99 for 12.5 kg, EUR 16.99 for 3 kg and EUR 5.49 for 900 g.
Sensitive Dogs: Josera Hypoallergenic
Hypoallergenic is a grain-free recipe built around insects as a single, uncommon animal protein. Josera describes it as easy to digest, with moderate fat and protein, and says it is also suitable for senior dogs. The brand labels it a dietetic complete food for adult dogs to reduce symptoms of ingredient and nutrient intolerance, so it is best discussed with your vet before you switch. It was the most expensive of the six: EUR 62.99 for 12.5 kg, EUR 22.99 for 3 kg and EUR 7.99 for 900 g.

Practical Tips Before You Order
- Try a small bag first. Every size is listed, so a 900 g bag can show whether your dog likes the food.
- Change food gradually. Mix the new food into the old one over several days to protect your dog’s stomach.
- Check the weight on the pack. The feeding chart depends on the dog’s weight and age.
- Consider a subscription. The shop shows a delivery subscription with 5 percent off, double reward points and cancellation at any time.
- Ask your vet about special diets. Hypoallergenic and senior recipes are designed for specific needs.
The shop states that orders placed by 2 pm on weekdays are delivered in one to three working days, which is useful if you are close to running out. When you are ready to compare, you can open the Josera dog food range and filter by life stage, or go straight to the Josera online store for the latest prices.
