Do you know that Great Dane puppies can be noticeably bigger after a night’s sleep? Within a span of one year, these dogs can go from a small adorable puppy to being able to stand up on their hind legs and be at eye level with a 6-foot tall person.

Many pet owners may think that Great Danes are voracious eaters because of their size, but adults are only given about 2-3 cups of premium quality kibble for each meal. Since puppies are prone to growth spurts, too much protein in the diet should be avoided because it can fuel faster growth rates which can cause damage to bones and joints. It is recommended to feed adult pet food to Great Dane puppies, instead of puppy food which are high in protein and formulated for quick growth.
