Very helpful info…thanks all!

We have a 10 mo old, 90 lb. Irish wolf Bernard (Irish wolfhound crossed with a St. Bernard), our first giant breed. She’s fairly recently been having what seem to be growing pains or joint problems. Vet’s X-rays show no issues or concern with joints and chalk it up to bone density issues. Episodes have been completely debilitating a handful of times. Currently prescribed an anti inflammatory. Realizing, after reading, that we’ve probably not been feeding her properly. Been giving her a natural locally farmed mix of dog food. Higher in protein (26% crude protein), but no indication of calcium content. Any suggestions on what food might best suit her or how to remedy her discomfort/pain?
