Great Dane Puppy Food

My Great Dane puppy is on Innova Giant Breed Puppy food and it is great…accept one thing…. the GAS! She is so gassy that no body like being around her anymore. We have tried Eagle Pack and that makes her worse.

Any ideas on what foods may help control her silent-but-deadly gas?

Yeah i have had friends have the same problem with the Innova with the gas. And i would suggest to switch to any of these foods:::::

Solid Gold Wolf Cub Large Breed Puppy < At petco and my friend feeds this!!
* And then when your puppy becomes a adult you can switch it to the
Solid Gold Wolf King Large Breed Adult Dog Food

More good puppy food for danes are ::::::

Solid Gold Hundchen Flocken Puppy (lamb) < At peto

Instinct Chicken Meal Formula

Instinct Duck Meal & Turkey Meal Formula

Canidae All Life Stages < I feed this

Wellness Super5mix Large breed puppy < At petco

Good Luck and i hope this Helps!!

I am getting this great dane puppy tomorrow and he is only six weeks old she said he is weened and he eat hard dog food, and i just wanted to make sure it is a good desion she said we could wait until he is 8 weeks but i am eager to get him…
also i already have a year and half pomerian …

SIX weeks is very inappropriate –
the fact that U 'want' the pup has nothing to do with the fact that it is bad for the puppy.

in most states, the very-earliest that ANY pup can leave their
dam/mom and siblings is 49-days – which is SEVEN weeks.
however, the laws do vary, and in quite a few states, min-age is
56-days or EIGHT weeks before any pup or kitten can be taken from
their litter or the ltter separated from the mother.

if the pup is in one state, and U are in another, this is covered by USDA
regulations – which are Federal – and 56-days/8 weeks is the very
Earliest date/age that any pup or kitten can travel without Mom + all the
kids together, as a package deal.

the reason that pups need to stay with their sibs + mom for a few weeks
longer, EVEN IF they are weaned, has to do with what they are learning –
Mom is not just a milk-bottle, ya know!
pups have to learn apropos social-skills like body-language signals,
play-gestures, when to defer, and an inhibited-bite or gentle mouth.
ppl cannot teach these species-specific behaviors – only other dogs can.
that's why pups who are born solo always need special-care, or some
surrogate-siblings, in order to grow up normally.

BESIDES… if U get the pup at only 6-wks/42 days, U have to WAIT
until TWELVE-weeks to begin housetraining, anyway!

pups have no working sphincter-muscles on bladder or bowel before
3-mos/12-wks… so that means that Every Two Hours, they go out to
potty – WITH a human-being, On a Leash.
No exceptions, no shoving the pup out the door to cower + cry and then
come back in traumatized + whizz on the carpet so that U can slap'em…
bad human! (smacks rolled newspaper)

so please – do us all a favor, especially the pup –
WAIT. do it legally, do it kindly, let the puppy grow-up a bit.
let Pup be READY to leave mom + brothers + sisters.
let Pup have some time between 5-wks, when they are able to toddle,
and 8-wks, when they can engage in active-play for 10 mins or more
at a time, to enjoy their siblings, and learn from Mom.
before 5-wks, pups are still 'swimming' on their bellies.

those 21 days help shape the DOG that U will live with for a decade -
longer if U are lucky! (smile)

Almost 3 years ago, I worked at a pet store and I took in a Great Dane puppy that had problems keeping his food down from birth and was very emaciated. After X-rays I came to understand that he has a “mega-esophagus” and he was born without the valve that encloses his stomach from his esophagus. At 6 months old, he was neutered and he had the “Gastropexi” surgery to keep his stomach in place and prevent a stomach flip. It has helped a great deal, but he still vomits his food like once a month and there’s nothing more the vet can do. Although he is full grown, he is still rather thin. He’s on Nutro Large Breed now, before we were feeding Eagle Pack and before that – Nutro Sensitive Stomach with Canned Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul – all vet recommended, but he’s still under weight. Any better suggestions?

You do need to raise the dishes your dog eats from (there aren’t numerous studies on this..only one and that was from Purdue..it was not a good study) Nutro is not a very good food. I would look into better foods..Canidae ALS, Canidae Chicken and Rice, Wellness Super5 Mix, Solid Gold, EVO, Merrick, Chicken Soup for the dog Lover’s Soul or maybe even a home cooked or raw diet. Since your Dane is an adult satin balls or magic meat loaf would be good as well.
I suggest that you join one of the Dane groups there are other people on them that have experience with “mega” Danes.

I have had the little guy since he was 4 weeks old and had to get him some puppy milk because he wasn’t all the way on dry food. We took him to the vet he is up to date on all of his shots and de-wormed. He goes from looking healthy to being skinny– the vet said it was because he’s a large breed and he’ll get skinny as he grows BUT this time he is extra skinny and he doesn’t even seem to want to eat even his treats! I feed him Purina large breed Puppy Chow. If you have any ideas please let me know. Thanks!

feed him ensure and chocolate
