Large Breed Dog Recipe

Veterinarian-formulated, holistic dry dog food made with EU-approved, USA-raised chicken meal – with a synergistic fiber blend, prebiotics, and probiotics for advanced digestive support, designed for large and medium breed dogs at all life stages.

• For Large & Medium Breeds: Superior EU-approved protein from low-ash, USA-raised chicken meal and egg delivers essential amino acids to support lean muscle development and maintenance.
• Gastrointestinal Health: A synergistic blend of soluble and insoluble fiber – including beet pulp – plus prebiotics and probiotic "friendly bacteria" to support nutrient absorption and healthy digestion.
• Wholesome Grains: Brown rice, oatmeal, and pearled barley provide easily digestible, sustained energy – no legumes, cheap fillers, corn, wheat, soy, or by-product meals.
• Skin & Coat Health: A balanced ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from menhaden fish oils to support a lustrous coat, healthy skin, and cognitive function.
• Joint, Heart & Vision Health: New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussels and natural sources of glucosamine and chondroitin support joint and mobility health, enriched with taurine for heart, vision, and reproductive health.
• Recommended Breeds: Bernese Mountain Dog, Saint Bernard, Newfoundland, Great Pyrenees, Mastiff, English Mastiff, Bullmastiff, Weimaraner, Irish Setter, Pointer, Vizsla, Golden Retriever, and Labrador Retriever.

One misconception I heard often from clients is that large breed dogs don't need holistic nutrition as much as smaller dogs. I strongly disagree. Large breeds have a massive amount of skin and coat to maintain, tend to have more sensitive gastrointestinal tracts, and often require special nutritional attention for their joints.

The Large Breed Recipe was developed with these three areas in mind – balanced omega fatty acids for skin and coat health, a synergistic fiber blend with prebiotics and probiotics for proper digestive function, and glucosamine for joint health.

You may also notice we use smaller kibbles even in our Large Breed formula – counterintuitive, perhaps, but there's good science behind it. See our FAQ for the full explanation.
