Great Dane Nutritional Needs
From their size to their loving personality, Great Danes can grow
on you quickly. It’s important to introduce proper nutrition into your
Great Danes diet. While you want to make sure you use a natural premium
dog food or a raw dog diet, it’s just as important to think about the
way in which you feed them.
There are some basic practices you want to put into place:
When picking out your Great Danes food, check the ingredients on the back of the bag. The first five ingredients are generally the most important. Where are they getting their protein source from? Is it chicken or beef or some manufactured ingredient? Compare commercial dog food with premium dog food. See this great article about how to choose the right food for your Dane.

There are some basic practices you want to put into place:
- Use an elevated dog feeder to help lessen risk of digestive issues.
- Never feed your Great Dane puppy food. Puppy foods tend to be way to high in protein and fat and can cause serious issues.
- Ensure their food has proper protein and fat levels. Generally protein levels should be no greater than 24% with fat levels between 12% and 14%.
- Your Great Dane will grow naturally so try and go lite and lean up until they are 2 years old.
