The Tibetan Mastiff is truly a large dog. Such a huge physique requires a solid nutritional foundation to support it. Therefore, it has a particularly big appetite. Usually, they are not picky eaters. However, for the Tibetan Mastiff to grow healthier, even if it eats everything, the owner still needs to put some thought into its diet. So, what dog food is better for Tibetan Mastiffs?

The dog food fed to Tibetan Mastiffs, if of higher quality, generally includes: Purina, Royal Canin, Myfoodie, Amus, Anbei, etc. More moderately priced options include: Pedigree, Eukanuba, Dyuk, etc. If the dog is already an adult, the amount of dog food can be reduced, and more variety can be fed, such as: corn porridge, bean gruel, and the types of meat can be alternated. This helps avoid loss of appetite caused by eating the same food for a long time. Additionally, they should go outside more for sun exposure and exercise.

1. In daily life, owners can feed a reasonable combination of professional dog food and meat. Also, to reduce the Tibetan Mastiff’s wild nature and avoid contagious diseases, parasitic infection, and bacterial diseases, the meat fed to Tibetan Mastiffs must be cooked thoroughly with clean water before feeding. Furthermore, the types of meat and dog food flavors can be reasonably combined and regularly changed.

2. The food prepared for Tibetan Mastiffs must contain enough protein, especially animal protein. Data show that the protein content in Tibetan Mastiff feed must be maintained above 30%. During breeding, lactation, weaning, or growth periods, the protein content in the feed should reach about 40%. Sources of this protein include: animal organs, eggs, meat, bones, skin, flesh, and blood. If possible, live feed can be given periodically.

3. Tibetan Mastiffs are omnivorous but mainly carnivorous. They can consume animal-based foods extensively and long-term. Protein in food is very significant for Tibetan Mastiffs. It can be said that protein is an important component of the tissues that make up the Tibetan Mastiff’s body. Since Tibetan Mastiffs have huge bodies, sufficient protein intake ensures the nutrients needed during their growth and development. Protein can be called the essence of life for Tibetan Mastiffs.
