Giant breed dogs (like Great Danes, Irish Wolfhounds Newfoundlands, Saint Bernards, and Mastiffs) have unique nutritional needs that require specially formulated pet food. Here’s why:
-
Controlled Growth Rate – Puppies of giant breeds grow rapidly, and too many calories or excess calcium can lead to joint and bone issues like hip dysplasia. Special formulas ensure steady, healthy growth. The fat content is higher in our recipes and the protein levels reduced .
-
Joint and Bone Health – These dogs carry a lot of weight, so their food often includes glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega-3 fatty acids to support joint health and reduce the risk of arthritis.
-
Lower Caloric Density – Giant breeds are prone to obesity, which strains their joints and heart. Their food is formulated with a balance of proteins and fats to maintain lean muscle without excessive weight gain.
-
Heart Health – Large dogs are at risk of heart issues like dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Their diets may include taurine, L-carnitine, and appropriate levels of sodium to support cardiovascular function.
-
Digestive Support – Many giant breeds have sensitive stomachs and are prone to bloating (gastric dilatation-volvulus, or GDV). Special formulas may include fiber, probiotics, and proper kibble size to encourage slower eating and better digestion.
-
Kibble Size and Texture – Larger kibble helps promote proper chewing, which can improve digestion and prevent gulping (a risk factor for bloat).
