Watch a three year time-lapse video to see just how big great dane puppies will grow.
Great Danes are giant dogs. That means they have a big appetite. Most fully grown Great Danes eat between six and ten cups of food a day. That amount can vary between how much activity the dog gets each day. It can take time when deciding how much to feed your Great Dane. Ideally, you should easily be able to feel your dog’s ribs, but they shouldn’t be clearly seen.
