What large dogs need
Large dogs put a heavy load on their joints and ligaments, so their food includes joint support and keeps calories moderate — excess weight is especially dangerous for them. Kibble size matters too: big dogs should crunch kibble rather than swallow it whole. Large breeds also tend to have sensitive stomachs, so easily digestible ingredients suit them.

How to feed it
Check the daily amount for your dog's weight and activity in the table on the bag and split it into 2 meals — large dogs shouldn't eat the whole day's portion at once. Avoid vigorous exercise straight after eating. Switch to the new food gradually over 7–10 days, mixing it with the old one — see how to switch your pet to a new food. Fresh water should always be available.
Large dogs' joints
Joint support in food is good prevention, but the amounts are usually small. If your dog already has joint problems, limps or struggles to get up, talk to your vet about a dedicated joint supplement. Keep your dog at a healthy weight: every extra kilo adds load to the joints. More in excess weight in cats and dogs.
Storing a big bag
A large dog gets through 15 kg in a few weeks. Keep the food in a tightly closed container or the original bag with a clip, somewhere cool and dry, out of the sun. Don't pour fresh food on top of old leftovers. More in how to store dry pet food.
Choosing a food class
Super-premium foods differ from premium ones in higher meat content and ingredient quality. Compare not only the class but also the meat percentage, carbohydrate source and calories — portions are based on them. More in dog food classes: how to choose.
Who it suits
