With grand scale and greater weight, your large breed dog has a unique physical composition that creates special nutritional needs. Our Large Breed Complete Health Adult Recipe is designed to support the unique health needs of larger dogs through nutrient-rich whole foods.
Higher Percentage of Muscle Mass
With greater size, there is more muscle to support and keep strong so we use 13% more protein than our Super5Mix Complete Health Recipe with 4 quality animal protein sources.
Need to Keep Joints Healthy
Carrying an average weight of 100 pounds is hard work. To help keep joints healthy, this recipe features our WellFlex® System - 750 mg/kg of glucosamine hydrochloride and 250 mg/kg of chondroitin sulfate.

Transitioning to Wellness: It is important to slowly transition your dog from his/her current diet as it takes a few days for the body to adapt to the new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5 - 7 day period, increasing the amount of Wellness each day, so that you are feeding 100% Wellness by day 7.
Determining Feeding Portions: Looking at the chart below, divide the total cups per day by the total number of times you feed your dog per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Wellness believes in feeding dry and wet food in combination whenever possible to help increase the level of water in your dog's diet.
Weight (lbs) | Recommended Cups/Day |
50 - 60 | 3-1/2 - 4 |
61 - 70 | 4 - 4-1/2 |
71 - 80 | 4-1/2 - 4-3/4 |
81 - 90 | 5 - 5-1/4 |
91 - 100 | 5-1/4 - 5-3/4 |
101 - 110 | 5-3/4 - 6-1/4 |
111 - 120 | 6-1/4 - 6-1/2 |
121 - 140 | 6-3/4 - 7-1/2 |
141 - 160 | 7-1/2 - 8-1/4 |
161 - 180 | 8-1/4 - 9 |
Dogs Over 180 lbs: Add 1/4 cup per additional 10 lbs.
Combination Feeding: If feeding with Wellness wet food, reduce dry amount by 1/3 cup for every 6 oz of wet food.
Nutrition is only one part of the equation! Be sure to give your dog plenty of love, plenty of exercise, and see your veterinarian regularly to help ensure total wellness.
