QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Common Questions About Fresh Dog Food for Large Dogs

Human grade dog food means every ingredient meets the same safety and quality standards as food made for people. For Large Dogs, this matters because it eliminates the low-quality byproducts and fillers found in most commercial pet food. Tom&Sawyer prepares all meals in a human grade kitchen in Canada, regulated to AAFCO standards.

Large Dog feeding amounts depend on their weight, age, and activity level. As a general guide, most Large Dogs do well with two meals per day, morning and evening. Use the Tom&Sawyer Feeding Calculator to get a portion size tailored specifically to your dog.

Tom&Sawyer dog meals are formulated for adult maintenance. If you have a large breed puppy, speak with your veterinarian about their growth-stage nutrition needs, since large puppies may need careful support during development. In Canada, Puppy Booster may be available for some puppies, but it is not available in the U.S. and should be used only when appropriate for your dog.

For Large Dogs, prioritize recipes with a named animal protein as the first ingredient, such as chicken, beef, or turkey. Look for whole vegetables, healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids, and no artificial preservatives or fillers. Given that Large Dogs are prone to sensitive stomach, easily digestible proteins and minimal ingredient lists are especially important.

Yes, gently-cooked dog food is an excellent choice for Large Dogs. Cooking at low heat preserves the natural vitamins and minerals found in fresh ingredients, which are often destroyed in high-heat kibble manufacturing. Large Dogs with sensitive stomachs especially benefit from the improved digestibility of gently-cooked meals.

Most adult Large Dogs do best with two meals per day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Large Dog puppies typically need three to four smaller meals per day. Consistent feeding times help regulate digestion and energy levels, which is especially important for Large Dogs prone to itchy paws & skin.

The best protein sources for Large Dogs are high-quality, named animal proteins, chicken, beef, turkey, or fish. For Large Dogs prone to sensitive stomach, a single-protein or limited ingredient recipe can help identify and avoid triggers. Tom&Sawyer uses human grade meat in every recipe, with no byproducts or mystery proteins.
