MemberI have a 10 week old english bulldog that has a stage 2 heart murmur. I need a dry large breed puppy that has low salt, low protein and low calcium food. Does anyone have an idea on a large breed puppy that meets this criteria? Thank, Tina aloveoflabs

ParticipantHi Tina –
Out of curiosity, why are you searching for a low protein food?
Shawna
MemberHi Tina,
I’m curious to know why low protein too?
Tina Sharp
MemberI was told that because of the type of breed it is you need to be careful about bone development. The larger breeds grow faster than the smaller breeds.

ParticipantHi Tina –
Protein does not contribute to developmental disorders in large breed puppies, calcium does however. Therefore it’s not necessary to restrict protein but it is necessary to ensure that the calcium levels are controlled. I’d urge you to head over to the large breed puppy forum area. There you will find links to several articles written by veterinarians explaining appropriate nutrition for large breed puppies and also a list of appropriate 4 and 5 star foods. In order to obtain the sodium levels you will likely have to contact the companies directly though. Unfortunately most companies don’t list sodium levels on the product packaging or website.

MemberAs I read more about this matter I find that it maybe the calcium and phosphorus are the real issue. I guess it is fine to have a high protein, but no more than 1.2% cal and 1% phosphorus. I have read both sides of the fence with speaking about high protein. If anyone has some knowledge on this subject, please let me know. Thanks.
Tina Sharp
MemberI will for sure check that forum out. Thank you for your reply, Tina

MemberHi Tina,
Here’s the most recent list of foods with appropriate Calcium levels for large and giant breed puppies: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwApI_dhlbnFTXhUdi1KazFzSUk/preview?pli=1
You’ll want to call the manufacturers to find out about the Sodium levels.

MemberBetsy, the link doesn’t open… Is it just me?
DogFoodie
MemberI’ll post it again in case something got cut off or messed up: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwApI_dhlbnFTXhUdi1KazFzSUk/edit?pli=1
It’s a Google document, I think someone said you might have to be registered with Google to open it.
theBCnut
MemberYep, you have to register to view google docs.
Naturella
MemberOk, I can see it now, but why can’t I print or save it?
theBCnut
MemberOne time I tried to print it and couldn’t and another time I could. I can’t say why.
DogFoodie
MemberI’m not able to print it either. That’s frustrating, I know. I did however discover that you can copy and paste it into another document type, I use Word Perfect, and then print that.
