FAQs
Large breed dogs should switch from puppy food to adult food at a later age than smaller breeds. Large and giant breed dogs (50-plus pounds when fully grown) can transition from puppy food to an adult formula anywhere from 1 year to 18 months.
Dog food formulas vary based on the age and size dog they are made for because smaller breeds have different nutritional needs than medium breed and large breed dogs. Choosing the best size-specific formula for your dog will help your dog get the proper balance of nutrients and calories needed for their size.
The best dry dog food for large breeds should support your dog’s nutritional needs and have a taste they love to eat. Choose a formula that has a high-quality animal protein, like chicken, listed first on the ingredient panel, like Bil-Jac Large Breed Puppy Food and Bil-Jac Large Breed Adult. Bil-Jac uses fresh chicken and slow-cooks it gently to help protect key nutrients while creating an irresistible taste that large dogs love.
Yes, it is helpful. Bigger dogs generally have a slower metabolism than smaller canines and benefit from a food with a lower caloric density and different nutritional profile than small breed dogs. Large breed dog food allows big dogs to eat enough to support their size while providing the nutrition they need to thrive.
They shouldn’t. Choosing a formula made for smaller breeds won’t be balanced for large breed dogs’ health needs. For example, small breed formulas typically have a high caloric density. Eating that kibble can end up making large-breed dogs gain weight that puts extra stress on their joints.
The answer depends on the age and size of your dog. Each bag of dog food includes daily feeding recommendations based on your dog’s weight and age if they are a puppy. Use that as a starting point and monitor your dog’s weight and activity level. If you notice your dog is gaining or losing weight, adjust the feeding amounts accordingly.
Dogs need more than 30 nutrients to thrive with animal protein at the top of the list as well as fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and moisture. Bil-Jac adult dog foods provide all the required nutrients dogs need in their daily diet and meet all AAFCO standards to be complete and balanced.
Large breed dogs are generally defined as canines who are 50 or more pounds when fully grown. Dogs of that size, or puppies who will likely grow to be that big, should be fed a large dog food formula that caters to their specific dietary needs.
It can be helpful to have a raised food bowl for large breed dogs as they tend to be taller than other types of dogs. Your dog’s bowl should be roughly level with their chest to prevent them from straining to eat, so an elevated feeder can be beneficial for Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and other big dogs who stand higher than others do. Consult with your veterinarian to find the best solution for your dog.
