Best Dog Food for a Mastiff Puppy

Most nutritionists recommend fast growing puppies eat diets containing approximately 30% protein and 9% fat (dry matter basis). Calcium percentage of your feed should be around 1.5% (3 grams per 1000 kcal). The phosphorus percentage should be between 0.8% – 1%. Calcium and phosphorus work together.

We would recommend starting them out on the Puppy Salmon and Potato out of the Sensitive puppy range, but if they would prefer a meat-based food, then we suggest the Puppy Venison and Rabbit out of the 60/40 puppy range.

When your Dogue de Bordeaux puppy is 12/16 weeks to 6 months, you can move to three feedings per day. Some owners prefer to go on feeding three meals per day with adult dogs, with snacks and treats between meals since this is thought, in some quarters, to reduce the risk of bloat.

Expect them to consume 6-10 cups of dry food every day. If you are choosing a raw diet, your Mastiff will require 2.5-7 pounds of muscle meat, organ meat and bones daily. Growing puppies and nursing moms will have an especially high intake, whereas senior dogs will require less food.

These range from dysplasia to bloating, and they can easily become obese. However you can simply manage the weight of the French Mastiff by feeding your dog two to three rationed meals a day. This breed is also known for a higher degree of bone cancer susceptibility, and kidney stones.

These big dogs need lots of room to move around, and require moderate exercise. They love to relax and snuggle up with the family. They are quite adaptable to many situations, and can be very playful or very lazy.
