HISTORY

The great Dane is a huge canine breed known as the “Apollo of dogs.” the Danes have a German identity. It is estimated that the breed has existed for about 400 years. Mastiff-like dogs were raised by German nobles to guard rural estates and hunt wild boars, and Great Danes are descended from them. In the 1800s, great Danes that resembled those we know today were produced. In 1880, the title “great dane” was banned in Germany, and the breed was renamed “Deutsche dogge,” which means German mastiff; nonetheless, great Dane is still used in English-speaking countries. These dogs are commonly treated as family pets, and despite their size, they have become popular among city dwellers.

DIET

A high-protein, moderate-fat diet with between 350 and 450 calories per cup is the key to feeding your great dane. Your dog’s feeding amount will need to be adjusted based on his age and activity level, but the moderate calorie content guarantees that he won’t need to consume a huge amount of food to satisfy his calorie requirements. Bloating is more common in large breeds, a lethal sickness in which the stomach fills with gas and twists on itself, sending your dog into shock.
