Feeding Tips for Tibetan Mastiff
- 1.These estimates use an average weight of 54 kg and assume standard kibble at 350 kcal per cup. Adjust if your food has a different calorie density.
- 2.Tibetan Mastiffs are relatively low-energy. Be careful not to overfeed — they can gain weight easily without enough exercise.
- 3.Puppies need more calories relative to body weight for growth. Split their daily food into 3 meals until they are about 12 months old.
- 4.Senior dogs have slower metabolisms. Reduce portions by 10–20% and consider senior-formula food with joint-support ingredients.
- 5.Always provide fresh water. Monitor your dog's body condition score and adjust portions to maintain a healthy weight. Consult your vet for personalized advice.
