With the correct care and nutrition most large-breed pups maintain slow controlled growth and lead a healthy and happy life. However, research has proven that unrestricted growth in large-breed pups is associated with increased risk of hipdysplasia, osteochondritis dessicans (OCD), hypertrophic osteodrystrophy (HOD) and other growth deformities throughout the dog's lifetime.

Gain BigDogs Puppy is specifically formulated to meet the nutritional needs of large-breed pups.

The feeding guide below should be adjusted depending on your pup's breed, level of activity and external conditions, so that your pup has a lean healthy condition (maintain a body condition score of 4, in a scale of 1 to 9, with 1 being emaciated and 9 being obese). Feed dry or moistened to a consistency that your pup prefers. It is recommended to feed large breed pups 3 times per day up to 6 months of age, reducing to 2 times per day thereafter. Fresh drinking water should be available at all times.
