FEEDING PROCEDURES
Feed your Giant Breed a good quality food. An all natural, baked or holistic is your best choice. REMEMBER TO READ THE LABELS!

Feed dry food only – Only if a dog is severely underweight or upon the recommendation of a veterinarian would you feed canned food.
Elevate all of your food and water bowels at a height that you dog does not have to lean down to eat.
Feed your dog dry food for 10 to 15 minutes only, and the remove all food. Never free feed! Make sure they always have plenty of fresh water.
DO NOT ALLOW your dog to eat 1 hour prior to exercise or 1 hour after exercise. Nor allow your dog to ride in a vehicle within an hour of feeding. Do this to avoid bloat and torsion.
KEEPING YOUR GIANT BREED OUT OF THE SUN
Giant breed dogs need to stay out of the sun. Most giant breeds have a single coat of hair which does not guard against the harmful rays of the sun. They can develop skin cancer very quickly. Once skin cancer develops, the dogs usually develop internal cancerous tumors as well. This can lead to death.
Giant breed dogs also need to stay out of the heat. Their bodies do not dissipate heat well; therefore they can get heat stroke, which can cripple to even kill them.
We can not guarantee the longevity of any dog, but we can provide you with recommendations that have been found to be successful with thousands of Giant Breeds.
