What/how much does your LGD eat?

[PotterWatch]

We feed mainly kibble, though a good quality brand, as well as some raw beef and chicken to our LGd pups. I am amazed at the amount of food they go through and they are only five months! How much of what kind of food do your dogs eat?

 

[Southern by choice]

We feed a dry kibble and raw meat..depending on what we have. Tomorrow it will be chicken for a while. Last few weeks deer scraps and bones. They will slow down with the food though, around 8-10 months they generally slow a lot. Sometimes to the point you may be wondering if they are ok. That is just there systems slowing down. Right now yours are still in rapid growth. If you think it is excessive and they look slim...get a fecal run.

Some of mine don't even eat everyday, they will let it sit there. I have 2 going on 14 months, 1 at 11 months and 1 at 10months.


BTW- We haven't seen pics of your guys in a long time. HINT HINT

Mine get a good quality kibble in the morning, raw in the afternoon and canned at night. Plus lots of raw bones from the neighbor that butchers cows.

I've never had a dog eat as much as my English Mastiff. She's only 140 pounds (small for her breed) but she eats 14+ cups of food a day. (she's been to the vet and dewormed and everything).

My pups eat about 4-5 cups a day of good qualitly kibble! I only feed once a day, they are now 8 months, and sometimes only eat half. When they were younger, they acted like they were starved every day and would gobble up at least 8 cups each!!!
My adult LGD weighs 226lbs, and she eats about eight cups a day and has alot of deer and butcher bones and scraps.

We have a 4-yr-old spayed female GP and a 6-month-old male GP. Between the two, we go through a 40-pound bag of good quality dog food every 10 days.

My pups are almost 6 months old and are going through 8-10 cups per day,each. They sometimes get raw food mixed into that as well as the occasional chicken neck or gizzard in processing day. I can't believe how much they eat and am happy to hear they will slow down at some point. Talk about chow hounds!

I'll try to get some new pictures of them in the next day or two.

Hi Potterwatch

How much are they weighing now? Also you might want to get a fecal run also. 6 months is a good time. When did they finish up their de-worming schedule?

My doberman eats 6-8 cups a day, LGD pup, who is 10mo now, eats about 6 cups. She's a GP x Maremma, not a big dog at all. She gets whole rabbit every now and then.
