Dog Food for Large Breeds

Dry food for large-breed dogs is specially formulated to meet their unique needs. The kibble pieces are larger, making them easier for big dogs to chew and promoting better digestion and dental health. In addition, these formulas often include nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin, which help support joint health – a common concern for larger breeds.

Large dogs typically do well with two meals per day. Large-breed puppies will require more frequent feeding. Always follow feeding guidelines on the packaging and consult your vet if you’re unsure about anything.

We offer options for junior, adult, and senior large-breed dogs to meet each life stage’s nutritional needs.

Transition your dog to a new type of food slowly to avoid digestion issues. Mix the new food with the old over the period of about a week, starting with 25% new food and slowly adjust the ratio until they have been fully moved over to the new food. Introduce this slowly to dogs with sensitivities and make sure to keep an eye out for any signs of discomfort.

Keep dry food in its original bag, sealed and in a cool, dry place. Wet food should be kept in the same conditions until it has been opened, then stored in the fridge and use within 1-2 days.

Large-breed dogs are often prone to joint issues – such as hip dysplasia – skin and coat problems, and digestion sensitivities. Our Calibra large-breed food recipes are formulated with ingredients such as glucosamine and chondroitin to support join health, omega-3 fatty acids for a healthy coat, and prebiotics to promote good digestion and gut balance.
