Big dogs have big appetites and unique nutrition needs. This collection of 10 homemade dog food recipes is built for large breeds: lean proteins for muscle, smart carbs for steady energy, and joint-friendly extras like omega-3s and collagen-rich broths. Each recipe includes batch-friendly steps, freezer tips, and guidance on portions by body weight. We note calcium-phosphorus considerations, slow growth targets, and how to adjust calories without losing balance. Transition gradually (25%โ†’100% over several days) and always avoid hazards like grapes, onions, chocolate, xylitol, and cooked bones. For long-term feeding or specific conditions, review with your veterinarian or a board-certified nutritionist first.
