Large and giant breed dogs have a way of taking over the kitchen. If you've ever cooked a batch of rice and chicken for your dog on a sick day, or sneaked them a piece of plain boiled meat you prepared just for them, you know exactly what we mean.
A lot of giant breed owners are curious about home cooking — not to replace their dog's regular food, but to understand what's going into the bowl, to add variety, or simply to prepare the occasional home-cooked meal as a treat. We hear this constantly from our community.
So we made something for you.
Feed the Giant — A Free E-Book of Recipes for Large Breed Dogs
Feed the Giant is a free collection of 15 recipes made with real, whole ingredients — the kind you can find at any supermarket. The recipes were put together with large and giant breed dogs in mind, using ingredients commonly recommended for dogs: lean proteins, easily digestible carbohydrates, and dog-friendly vegetables.
The e-book is not a veterinary nutrition guide. It was not created by vets, and it is not intended to replace a complete and balanced commercial diet or a diet designed by a board-certified veterinary nutritionist. Think of it as a starting point for owners who want to cook for their dogs occasionally — a resource to explore, not a prescription.
If you're considering transitioning your dog to a home-cooked diet as their primary source of nutrition, please talk to your veterinarian first. Giant breeds have specific nutritional needs that require careful planning.
What's Inside
The 15 recipes are built around ingredients that are generally well-tolerated by large breed dogs:
- Lean proteins — chicken, turkey, beef, salmon
- Digestible carbohydrates — rice, oats, sweet potato
- Dog-friendly vegetables — carrots, courgette, spinach, pumpkin
- No onion, garlic, grapes, or any ingredients known to be harmful to dogs
Each recipe includes a simple ingredient list, preparation steps, and approximate portion guidance. The portions are estimates based on a large breed dog — always adjust based on your dog's weight, activity level, and your vet's advice.
A Note Before You Cook
We want to be straightforward with you: home cooking for dogs is rewarding, but it comes with responsibility.
Dogs — especially large and giant breeds — have nutritional requirements that aren't always easy to meet with home cooking alone. Calcium and phosphorus ratios, taurine levels, and overall caloric balance matter more than most people realise. A recipe that looks healthy to us isn't automatically balanced for a dog.
The recipes in this e-book are best used as occasional meals, toppers, or treats alongside your dog's regular diet — not as a complete dietary replacement, unless you've worked out a full plan with your vet or a veterinary nutritionist.
With that said: cooking something real for your giant breed, with ingredients you chose yourself, is a genuinely lovely thing to do. And your dog will absolutely know the difference.
