Frequently Asked Questions about Extra Large Breed Puppy Foods

How is extra-large breed puppy food different from regular puppy food?

Extra-large breed puppy food is different from regular puppy food in that it is formulated to meet the special needs of larger breeds. While formulas vary, the best extra-large breed puppy foods are usually lower in fat and calories, with limited amounts of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D. These specially-tailored formulas help keep larger-breed puppies from growing too quickly, which can cause a range of orthopedic diseases collectively known as developmental orthopedic disease, or DOD.

Should I free feed my extra-large breed puppy?

Most vets recommend against free feeding extra-large breed puppies. Because extra-large breed puppies are prone to orthopedic issues if they grow too quickly, feeding the right amount of food is crucial to good health. Talk to your vet about how much and how often you should be feeding your extra-large breed puppy, or consult the feeding chart on the puppy food packaging for guidance.

When should I stop feeding my extra-large breed puppy a puppy formula food?

You should stop feeding your extra-large breed puppy a puppy formula food at maturity. Large-breed dogs continue growing for longer, so they usually need to eat puppy food for longer than smaller breeds. For most extra-large breeds, the transition to adult food should occur between age 18-24 months, or whenever your vet recommends. Your vet can give you the best guidance based on your dog's breed and unique needs.
