Dear Large Breed Dog Enthusiast,

One common misconception I would hear from clients is the idea that large breed dogs do not benefit from holistic nutrition as much as smaller dogs.  I strongly disagree with this idea and believe that holistic nutrition is just as critical for large breed dogs as they have a massive amount of skin and hair to maintain, tend to have more sensitive gastrointestinal tracts and often need special nutritional attention paid to their joints.

The Large Breed Dog Recipe has been developed with (i) high and balanced levels of omega fatty acids for optimum skin and coat health, (ii) healthy sources of fiber with prebiotics and probiotics for proper gastrointestinal functions and (iii) natural sources of glucosamine to assist in joint health.  Further the food is made with small kibbles.  We did this because dogs are not natural masticators, meaning they do not mash their food up before swallowing – typically a dog will take one or two bites and swallow, so a lot of kibbles actually go into the stomach whole. The smaller kibbles are much easier to digest than the large ones as they have more surface area in relation to weight. In addition, the small kibble allows for the formation of a tighter mass of food, which may help reduce air pockets in the stomach – think of a jar full of BBs compared to a jar full of golf balls – which one has less air in the jar?

Lastly, like all of our diets, the Large Breed Dog Recipe is formulated without low-grade ingredients that are harder for your dog to digest.  Some of these ingredients include animal by-product meal, cheap fillers, any sort of gluten (e.g., corn gluten), and artificial preservatives, flavors, and colors.

It is important to remember that your dog’s nutritional needs are unique and will vary with his environment, age and activity level. We recommend feeding to condition, this means using the following guide as a starting point, monitoring his weight and adjusting amounts accordingly. Feeding at least twice a day is optimal. Make sure fresh, clean water is available always.
