Why We Use Gentle Giants Dog Food

/ Uncategorized /

Our German Shepherds only eat Gentle Giants dry dog food. Why? Because we trust them!

Gentle Giant is an independent company created by a man named Bob Ward (Batman!) who was seeking a better way to feed dogs and mainly a way to increase the lifespan of large breed dogs. Who doesn’t want their pet to live as long as possible? Large breeds, like german shepherds often have a heartbreakingly short life span, which can often reach just six to eight years.

Gentle Giant uses formulas created by veterinarians and nutritionists developed for years before the food was widely available for commercial distribution. It’s lower fat and better balanced with carbohydrates to help control weight and improve your dog’s overall health.

Behind The Brand

What Types Of Dog Foods Does Gentle Giant Offer?

Gentle Giant makes simple formulas that use named meat meals and a blend of lower fat ingredients to help balance canine nutrition and prevent blood sugar spikes. There are no artificial ingredients such as flavors or colors that can encourage dogs to overeat. Sources of complex carbohydrates are easily digestible, and whole fruits and veggies provide vital minerals and vitamins.

Everything in the formula is non-GMO and sourced from responsible providers. It has a lower fat and protein content than other types of dog foods because the owners believe that many dogs are fed too much protein and fat causing weight gain and possible heart issues.

One good thing about most of their recipes is that they don’t use any type of legumes, peas, or potatoes for carbohydrate sources. These ingredients can possibly cause an enlarged heart in some dogs although researchers aren’t sure yet of the exact link.

Foods come in wet and dry versions, and each one has straightforward ingredients. Dry kibbles are formulated to be more densely nutritious, so you don’t have to feed as much, and the wet foods are great for adding more taste and nutrition to kibbles. They are formulated for all life stages and breed sizes.
