| From weaning to 5 months During the first stage of growth, the Giant puppy develops an intense metabolic activity; it builds its skeleton and gains 160g per day on average, reaching 50% of its adult weight in only 5 months. During this time its digestive system is still fragile. Building a solid skeleton while staying within the limits of its digestive capacity To ensure the fast development of its skeleton and weight gain, the Giant puppy needs twice as much energy as an adult. Meanwhile, its digestive system gradually matures. It is incapable of assimilating very large quantities of food. Overloading the digestive system can even lead to diarrhoea with adverse effects on health. The food must therefore have a high energy concentration to fulfil the puppy's high requirements while limiting the quantities ingested and promoting strong healthy bone and joints.
