Feeding
# Feeding your Bullmastiff well
Great Britain
The Bullmastiff's diet must be of high quality, suited to its large size and carefully measured to limit excess weight.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Puppy: Growth food adapted to the expected size, divided into three meals, without unnecessary calcium supplementation.
- Adult: Controlled ration in two meals, adjusted to the ideal weight and actual activity.
- Senior: Digestible food, possibly less energy-dense, with joint and dental monitoring.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
High-quality kibble forms the recommended basis of its diet.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The ration must be adapted to the dog's weight, age and activity level, while being monitored due to its greediness.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 41 kg | 395 - 480 g | 2 - 3 |
| 41 - 50 kg | 455 - 560 g | 2 - 3 |
| 50 - 59 kg | 515 - 630 g | 2 - 3 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any change in diet must be gradual in order to preserve digestive balance.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Fresh water must remain available at all times, particularly after walks and in hot weather.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats must remain limited and be included in the daily ration in order to avoid overweight.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Split the daily ration into two meals.
- Choose high-quality kibble suited to a large build.
- Monitor weight and adjust the ration to activity.
### Never feed these foods
Avoid foods that are toxic to dogs, including chocolate, grapes, onion, garlic, xylitol and alcohol, which can cause severe poisoning.
