I am going to tell you about the mastiff dog breed and what make Charlie for dinner. As you can imagine Charlie is my mastiff. He is an English Mastiff. There are quite a few breeds out there which have their own qualities but I stopped at Charlie. He is of the dark fawn-brindle (speckle brown ) persuasion and of average size and weight(32 inches tall and nearing 190 lbs).
, let me tell you all that I have heard success stories will all different types of diets for mastiffs from hot to cold but this is what I feed mine and it has done Charlie wonders. I got this recipe from a friend of the family that had an English Mastiff for as long as I have known him and his have always seemed full of energy an enthusiastic. Well full of energy for a mastiff that is.
I started feeding Charlie puppy kibble and it seemed to be doing just fine but once he became a teen he started looking like he needed a little more. I tried just feeding him more kibble at the beginning but he still seemed skinny and a little sleepy. That’s when I started feeding him what he eats now and it has worked.
I main ingredients are ground turkey, brown rice and raw veggies. Mainly carrots broccoli and cauliflower. I cook a half pound of ground turkey till tis done and add about half a cup of cooked brown rice. I chop up about a cups worth of vegetables until they are small enough to where I wouldn’t need to cut them if I ate them. I mix them all together and serve it to him after it cools. I also place his bowl on a stool so he doesn’t have to bend over to eat. He usually eats everything to the last drop except for some rice .
I do this twice a day once for breakfast and once for dinner. I have made a few days worth of meals and saved them in the fridge and that seems to work just fine too. One thing i have never done is made tons and frozen it and fed it to him over a week or two but I can only assume that would work too and maybe even be cheaper seeing as how you could get it in bulk.
The turn around was fast . You could see Charlie changing and within a month or so he had a shinier coat and more energy. He even started putting on some lean muscle weight. Charlie is now a very enthusiastic English Mastiff he has energy I have a friend that has an American Bandogge Mastiff and he loves this diet too so I can only imagine that every type of the mastiff dog breed would too. I love this breed and i love my good ole dog so I hope you try this diet for a while and see of it makes your dog as enthusiastic and healthy as mine.
