Grandorf Dog Adult Medium & Maxi breeds Low Grain 4 Meat, 10 kg is a holistic dry food for adult dogs of medium and large breeds. According to the description, the recipe is based on four animal protein sources: dehydrated lamb, turkey, duck and wild boar — 12% each — supplemented with fresh turkey. It is enriched with brown rice, sweet potato, salmon oil, Antarctic krill (a source of EPA and DHA), chicory root with prebiotics, glucosamine and chondroitin, plus a probiotic. There is no corn, wheat, peas, chicken, eggs, soy, gluten, GMOs, artificial colours or preservatives.
What the manufacturer claims
The food is called hypoallergenic. The variety of meats satisfies the natural needs of even a fussy dog. The natural taste needs no artificial flavourings, and the food is rich in vitamins. The multi-meat recipe plus joint and digestive support make it, according to the manufacturer, an excellent choice for active medium and large dogs.

Who benefits from a variety of meats
For a healthy active dog, several meats in one food are tasty and nourishing: different proteins provide different amino acids, and fussy eaters usually like such recipes. But if a food allergy is suspected, a multi-ingredient food makes finding the cause harder. Then a single-protein recipe is better, such as Grandorf Dog Medium & Large Turkey.
Krill, salmon oil and joints
Antarctic krill and salmon oil are sources of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, commonly used to support skin, coat and joints. Glucosamine and chondroitin are classic chondroprotective components. This support makes sense for active medium and large dogs, but if your dog already has joint problems, see a vet. Choosing a food is covered in food for large breed dogs.
How to feed it
Choose the portion from the table on the pack based on weight and activity: dogs that run and work a lot need more. Split the daily amount into two meals. The calculation is in how much food to give a dog per day.
Switching and storage
Introduce the new food over 7–10 days — the plan is in how to switch your pet to a new food. Keep the 10 kg bag closed in a cool, dry place; to preserve the probiotic and fatty acids, do not leave the food in the sun or warmth.
For an active dog
Dogs that walk a lot, run alongside a bike or do sports use more energy and load their joints more. Filling foods with joint support, like this one, suit them. If your dog is very active in the cold, you can increase the portion slightly in winter while watching its weight.
Who it suits
The food suits active adult dogs of medium and large breeds without food allergies, fussy eaters and dogs that cannot have chicken. For a single-protein diet choose another recipe. Another food from the brand is Grandorf Maxi Turkey, and all dry foods are in dry dog food.
Verdict
Grandorf Dog 4 Meat is a holistic food for active medium and large dogs: lamb, turkey, duck and wild boar, krill and salmon oil, glucosamine with chondroitin and a probiotic, with no chicken or wheat. The downsides are the missing analysis and supplement amounts on the card, and the multiple proteins rule it out for strict hypoallergenic diets.
