GraceMcC Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hey, Just wandering what people's prefrence is on diffferent dog food products.. with my Labrador i was feeding him Eukanuba (Hope thats spelt right ) .... I didn't find it too bad. I've recently just bought a BullMastiff who is only 8.5 weeks atm, I wanted to make sure he's getting the right nutrients so if any one else knows of any other good brands let me know... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Ususally the best bet is to ask the pups breeder what they feed as they will know the best diet to help the dog grow in the best way for breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 You need to follow the advice of your breeder re diet as there is very specific dietary requirements for large/ giant breed dogs to ensure that they grow slow and steady. It comes down to the right balance of protein to fat and also the calcium and phosphorous ratios (care should be taken if adding other foods to a dry diet as it can throw these out). This diet needs to continue for at least 12 months until growth is finished. Personally I prefer Eagle Pack but look at the other super premium foods like Euk and ProPlan. Your breeder should have also said not to use calcium supplements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Royal Canin do a Giant Breed formula, Advance do a Large/Giant breed forumula - at the very minimum go for a kibble made for large breeds. Has your breeder suggested a brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Your breeder should have supplied you with a diet chart for your puppy. I would be contacting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraceMcC Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hey, I'm yet to pick up my pup, the breeder said she will give me a "puppy pack" so I assume she will have all the information in there. Thanks for replying.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Ask for the details of the feeding requirements in the puppy pack to be sent to you now, so that you can purchase in advance. We send our puppy packs well before the pups leave home, so the new owners have all of the details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everythings Shiny Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I have always used Hills food for my dogs. They have a brilliant range out there for different breed sizes and any medical conditions dogs and cats may get. My clinic always pushes either Hills or Eukanuba.
