In order to keep your Mastiff puppy healthy and active, it’s important to feed them a balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs.

Protein is essential for your Mastiff’s growth and development and should make up the majority of their diet.

Look for high-quality protein sources such as chicken, beef, lamb, eggs, fish and other meats. A premium giant-breed dog food should be nutritionally balanced to help your Mastiff puppy develop properly. Also remember to provide fresh drinking water at all times.

Mastiff puppies will generally eat between 3 and 4 meals a day during the first 6 months of their life, after which they may transition over to 2 meals a day.

It’s important to remember that the nutritional needs of your Mastiff will vary depending on its age and activity level so be sure to consult with a veterinarian before making any dietary changes or giving supplements.

The amount and type of exercise that a Mastiff needs depends on their age, health, and energy levels.

For Mastiff puppies, exercise should be light to moderate in both intensity and duration as their joints, bones and ligaments are still developing. It is important to avoid over-exercising them as this can cause injuries that can worsen as they grow older. A good rule of thumb is to start with short walks for about 10 minutes at a time.

As puppies grow older, the duration of their walks can be gradually increased to 30 to 60 minutes per day. Swimming is also an excellent form of low impact exercise for Mastiff puppies that will help build muscle without putting too much strain on their developing bodies.

Adult Mastiffs need regular daily exercise in order to stay healthy and fit. Walks should last at least 30 minutes per day depending on the dog’s energy levels.

An adult Mastiff may also enjoy activities such as swimming or agility training; however, these activities should only be done under the supervision of an experienced trainer who understands the physical limitations of large breed dogs.

Mastiffs are large, powerful and imposing dogs that require a great deal of training to ensure they grow into well-mannered and socialised adult dogs. It is important to start early and aim for consistency when it comes to training a Mastiff, as this breed can easily overpower most humans.

Mastiffs respond best to positive reinforcement (treats or verbal praise) rather than punishment.

Obedience classes are highly recommended for Mastiffs as they provide an opportunity for them to learn in a structured environment with professional guidance. This type of class is especially beneficial if you plan on competing with your dog in shows or field trials.

In addition, teaching your Mastiff tricks like retrieving objects or rolling over can also help build confidence and trust between you and your dog while providing mental stimulation that keeps them entertained.

House-training is essential and should be started as soon as possible to prevent accidents from happening inside the home.

Leash training is another important aspect of owning a Mastiff – this breed can pull incredibly hard, so it’s important that they understand how to walk properly on the lead before being allowed into public areas.
