Feeding Great Dane

Question
We have a Great Dane puppy that is about 45 Lbs and is almost 6 months. Is it fine to feed her Premium Edge Puppy Large Breed formula? It has 27% protein. She is also gulping her food way to fast.

Answer
Likely you would do well to switch to an all life stages food making sure the actual amount of calcium is less then 1.5%.  Stick to the same brand a formula is the puppy is doing well on it.  The percent protein tells you little.  Most puppy chows are quite rich and result in excessive rapid growth putting too much stress on developing joints.  

There are not one, but 2 easy, tested, effective ways to control rapid eating. You can spread the food out on a cookie sheet or something. Some of my friends just throw it on the floor of the crate.

You can put large rocks in the food dish, much to big to swallow. Either way, the dog can't gulp down one big mouthful after another.
