Because they are prone to suffer from bloat, it is important that they be fed twice a day instead of giving them just one larger meal a day. It’s also a good idea to invest in a stand to place their feed bowl which makes it easier for these large dogs to eat comfortably without having to stretch their necks down low to reach their food. Dogs should never be exercised just before or just after they have eaten either because this puts them more a risk of suffering from bloat.
