From feeding to bathing to spending money on dog essentials and more! Raising a dog can be a tough job. Despite this, every time we cross the threshold of the house, seeing our dog rush over with its tail excitedly wagging just makes our heart melt.\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hence, it is only natural to put our dog\u2019s health as our prime concern. For any dog to thrive health-wise, nutrition is important. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are differences in the nutrition needs of dogs according to size. We want to help you determine whether you are giving your big dog all the nutrition it needs with a guide to big dog nutrition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mypetsies.com\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1135 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mypetsies.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/10\/pexels-photo-532310.jpeg\" alt=\"big dog nutrition\" width=\"370\" height=\"557\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How nutrition is different for big dogs<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large breed puppies are rapid growers. They might start out as being one pound but within the first 18 months of their life, that number may rise up to 180 pounds. <\/span>As a result, these dogs are very prone to developmental problems due to malnutrition or rapid growth.\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These problems may include developmental orthopedic disease (DOD). DOD is accompanied by the following symptoms:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hip dysplasia<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elbow dysplasia<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hypertrophic osteodystrophy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Osteochondrosis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retained ulnar cartilage core<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Panosteitis<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid DOD risks, owners must be careful to not provide excess calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D. By giving your puppy fewer calories you will reduce the rapid rate of growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of a specialized diet for large breed dogs<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giving your canine dog food that is specifically formulated for larger breed dogs can have several benefits.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.feedfond.com\/best-large-breed-puppy-food\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large breed dog food<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> contains the appropriate amount of calcium, fat, calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D. The controlled amount of calories and minerals reduce the risk of developmental disorders. It also e<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nsures that the dog remains at a healthy weight to prevent excess pressure on the joints or hip.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What to look for in large breed dog food<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to choosing the best commercial dog food for your big dog. Look out for the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pick foods labeled \u201ccomplete and balanced\u201d on the can.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go for foods which have been clinically tried and tested.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid foods labeled \u201chuman-grade ingredients\u201d or &#8220;all natural&#8221;.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid foods which have fats or oils among the first 4 ingredients.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for the ingredients glucosamine, chondroitin, Omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA, amino acids (from meat products, not byproducts) and antioxidants. These encourage the growth and maintenance of joint health and function.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Ways to ensure proper\u00a0big dog nutrition<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now if your dog hasn\u2019t been getting proper nutrition and you don\u2019t know how to help it, don\u2019t fret. Practicing the following 3 principles will ensure your dog is in optimal health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>1. Give it the right nutrients<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a dog owner, there is a variety of dog food you can pick from; be it commercial dog food or home cooked.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commercial dog food is perfect for owners who are always on the go because they can be instantaneously fed and contain beneficial nutrients in the right amounts. Veterinarians recommend dry food for dogs as it maintains the health of teeth and gums.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you prefer giving your dog home-cooked meals, make sure the recipes you use are veterinarian approved.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep your dog healthy, the following nutrients are essential to its diet:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Proteins-\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The building blocks of your dog\u2019s body tissues are proteins. Your dog can synthesize only 13 of the 23 amino acids which make up these proteins. The rest have to be obtained from food.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Carbohydrates-\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your dog can get carbohydrates from eating plant matter such as grains. Carbs provide the energy for movement and fuels essential chemical reactions in your dog\u2019s body.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Fats-<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0They can either be burned for energy or stored in the body for later use. They also keep your dog\u2019s skin and coat healthy. Dogs cannot synthesize all the fatty acids essential for their body hence they need to consume them. These include; L<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">inoleic acid,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Omega-6 and O<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mega-3<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Vitamins and Minerals-<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These nutrients are important for chemical reactions in your dog\u2019s body such as building bones etc. Your dog needs the following vitamins to remain healthy;\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin A,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin D,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin E,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin K,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B-complex vitamins,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calcium, and\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phosphorus.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dogs can synthesize vitamin C so they don\u2019t need it in their food. Avoid giving your dog supplements as this can be dangerous for its health.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Water- This<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0is absolutely necessary for your dog to survive because even a 10% decrease in water levels in the body can lead to death. More than 50% of an adult dog\u2019s body weight consists of water.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canned food may have a lot of water but it is not enough. Make sure that your dog has access to clean water at all times.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>2. Prepare an Appropriate Meal Time Routine<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veterinarians recommend that large breed dogs should be fed twice a day. Any more may lead to weight gain, bloating and obesity.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that table scraps should be no more than 10% of your dog\u2019s diet. Otherwise, your dog may develop diabetes or heart disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>3. Focus on Weight Management<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excess weight can be very unhealthy especially for big dogs. The greater your dog\u2019s body weight, the more stress it will place on its joints thus increasing the risk of osteoarthritis.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid this, owners must focus on keeping their dogs at a stable weight. Schedule meals and control portion sizes. Avoid free feeding your dog. You can have control portion sizes more effectively by getting a programmable <a href=\"https:\/\/Top10.Today\/pet-feeders\" target=\"_blank\">electronic feeder<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, to stay in shape, your dog must exercise every day. You can take your dog out for a walk or a swim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mypetsies.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1131 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mypetsies.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/10\/pexels-photo-770363.jpeg\" alt=\"big dog nutrition\" width=\"548\" height=\"365\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, it is absolutely essential that you are consistent with any diet and exercise regime to get your desired outcome. Furthermore, going slowly will help you ease your dog into a new routine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Author Bio:\u00a0<\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shawn Richards<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a content writer at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.feedfond.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">FeedFond.<\/a> He\u2019s a doting father not only to his two children but also to his two Golden Retrievers.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As big dog owners we want to ensure that our dog is getting all the right nutrition.
