Hi,
I plan on getting a Great Dane puppy in the next few months. I've been doing my research on the breed because I've never had one, and most importantly want to provide him with the best nutrition I can find.
I'm interested in feeding him homemade meals with beef or chicken, but I don't really know what kind of veges or fruits I can provide for him also. I want to mix this homemade diet in with a dry dog food. I have heard to stay away from grains, and that Solid Gold Wolfcub is the best dog food to get for him. Can anyone give me some adivce on the best diet for him?

Thanks!

If you are interesting in making your Dane's food you should research feeding raw. In all honesty, it is the best diet out there. However, a raw diet is not always feasible for one reason or another.

High quality kibbles would include: Canidae, Innova, Merrick, Wellness, Orijen, Taste of the Wild, Timberwolf Organics, Eagle Pack, etc.

Here are some important things to remember about feeding a Giant breed:

* NEVER feed him puppy food, ever. He should be eating adult food as a puppy.

* Never allow the protein levels to be over 24%

* Never feed any kibbles formulated for large breeds. Great Danes are NOT a large breed, they are a Giant breed.
