when I feed my dog a treat she always drops her head to the floor to chew and swallow. The Great Dane breed has been around for hundreds of years and this new feeding method about twenty years. If you feel that feeding your dog off the ground helps them then by all means do it. Great Danes rule.
Hi, here in Brazil …
Hi, here in Brazil we also feed great danes at shoulder height. That was one of the first things that the vet advised when we got Apollo. The vet said that it can actually be painful for them to eat and drink from the floor, and eventually can cause back problems as they get older.
Beautiful dog! =)
The amount of …
The amount of protein for dogs varies by the dogs size breed and activity. My sister in-law feeds her Husky a 100% diet of raw meat. Dogs by nature are meat eating machines. Danes were bred to hunt Wild Bore. If your dog is more active then they need more protein. When we got our Abbey she weighed 111pounds for her size she was 30 pounds under weight. The Guru said be aware of your dogs needs and be consistent whatever you do. She gives her Danes extra protein in a wet form once a day.
Thanks so much for …
Thanks so much for responding. I am confused though. Everything I’ve read states that a Dane’s food should not have more than 20% protein in it. If it is not too much trouble, would u ask your Guru that question for me? Thanks for the advice on the wet food, I will definitely look into that. Another problem I have is that I am Vegan. Obviously I will do what is best for my pup but I’d like to do so w/o supporting factory farming at the same time. I plan to look into a local beef farm nearby tho.
Our Great Dane Guru …
Our Great Dane Guru here in Las Vegas Nevada says that Great Danes need some wet food at least once a day. I feed my dog a dry chicken and rice formula plus the chiken dinner every night. I havn’t tried your brand of dog food so I can’t say if it is better. I get my chicken at Food For Less. It costs about 50 to 70 cents a pound. This turns out to be cheaper than canned dog food which is 90% water. Dogs need at least 70% protein in their diet. Give your dog meat and she will love you even more.
Great video, great …
Great video, great commentary from the little man! I wondered about the chicken. Isn’t there too much protein in it for a Dane? I have a 12 week old female Harlequin and have heard sooo many theories on feeding but the one common thread seems to be low protein. Right now my pup gets only dry food, brand of Nature’s Recipe. Do you find the Natural Choice to be superior? My girl Delilah is beautiful and healthy but obviously I am concerned about giving her what will be best.

Thank you for your comment. We found a woman here in Las Vegas, NV who raised Great Danes for show. She told us that to prevent bloat we should not feed Abbey after or before activities. Treats are OK. Great Danes should be allowed time after feedings for sleeping. Our Abbey sleeps at least an hour after eating and will not eat if she is to excited. I have observed that Abbey will lower her head almost to the ground when I giver her any kind of treat. The BEST dog I have ever owned.
