Manufacturer feeding guidance
We recommend serving our puppy meals for large breeds until your puppy is 13-18 months.
Behavioral Optimizing Food (BOF) is the principle of restoring the dog's natural diet. I practice keeps the dog's blood sugar stable, the high content of fresh meat stimulates the instincts, the low boiling temperature preserves nutritional value, berries, seeds and herbs recall the contents of the prey's stomach and the size of the pieces ensures that the meal is always chewed and not swallowed whole.
