What the manufacturer claims
The single-protein formula makes the food valuable for dogs with sensitive digestion and a tendency to allergies. A chondroprotective complex supports a large dog's joints.

A single protein for a large dog
Large dogs have food sensitivities no less often than small ones, and changing food is harder for them because of the large volumes. A single-protein food helps you see whether your dog tolerates turkey and lowers the risk of reactions. If your vet suspects an allergy, discuss the diet with them. More in hypoallergenic dog food.
Joints and weight
The joints of large and giant breeds carry a heavy load. Chondroprotectors in the food and moderate fat help keep the dog in shape, but the key is not to overfeed: excess weight hits the joints hardest. Tips are in food for large breed dogs and excess weight in dogs.
How to switch
Switch your dog to the new food over 7–10 days, gradually increasing its share. Large dogs should not get one big meal a day — it is better to split it into two. The plan is in how to switch your pet to a new food.
Storing a 10 kg bag
Keep the bag closed in a cool, dry place, or better, pour the food into a container in portions. That way the kibble does not go stale and keeps its smell. More in how to store dry food.
Who it suits
The food suits adult and senior dogs of large and giant breeds, including those with sensitive digestion and dogs that cannot have chicken. It does not suit dogs allergic to turkey. Another food from the brand is Grandorf Medium & Maxi Lamb & Turkey. All dry foods are in dry dog food.
Verdict
Grandorf Dog Maxi Turkey is a single-protein holistic food for large dogs: turkey as the only animal protein, 65% meat with no by-products, 26% protein, 13% fat, chondroprotectors and prebiotics, with no chicken or wheat. The downsides are the missing full analysis and chondroprotector amounts, and dogs that react to fish should keep the salmon oil in mind.
