A Really Good Diet That I Have Found That Makes The The English Mastiff Really Shine

I am going to tell you about the mastiff dog breed and what I feed Charlie . 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 characteristicsbut I stopped at Charlie. He is of the dark fawn-brindle ( dark browns all mixed together ) persuasion and of average size and weight(32 inches tall and nearing 190 lbs).

Food For Mastiffs

First of all , let me tell you all that I have heard success stories will all different types of diets for mastiffs from Iams to Purina 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 blissful . 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.

English Mastiffs

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 couple 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 buy it in bulk.

Mastiff Breeds

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 blissful 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 blissful and healthy as mine.
