What Bullmastiffs need most from their food

The Bullmastiff’s large, powerful frame makes joints and bloat the priorities:

Joint & Hip Health

EPA and DHA omega-3s and lean body weight support the joints large breeds are predisposed to strain.

Weight Management

Lean, nutrient-dense food maintains a healthy, joint-protective weight without filler calories.

Bloat (GDV) Risk

A deep-chested breed prone to bloat — feed measured meals, not one large meal, and avoid vigorous exercise around eating.

Large-Breed Growth

For large and giant breed puppies, calcium balance and growth rate matter — which is why our Beef and Chicken labels carry the AAFCO statement for growth of large size dogs (70 lb. or more as an adult).

Why freeze-dried raw is right for BullmastiffsBullmastiffs

Bullmastiffs are large, powerful, surprisingly mellow guardians — but their size brings joint predispositions (hip and elbow dysplasia) and bloat risk. Lean body weight protects the joints, and careful feeding practices reduce bloat risk for this deep-chested breed.

Loyal Saints supports Bullmastiffs with omega-3s for joints, lean nutrient-dense nutrition, high-quality protein for their muscular build, and clean, digestible food fed in measured meals. For puppies, large-breed growth management with your vet is important.

The standard is King.

Loyal Saints was built because of one dog. King’s digestive sensitivities pushed Kristina Voltin to question the ingredients, processing and nutrition behind every bowl. She formulated a whole-food, freeze-dried raw diet from human-grade quality ingredients — food she felt confident feeding King every day. Every formula is held to that standard: would I feed this to King?

For Bullmastiffs owners navigating the same questions Kristina faced — about ingredients, about what’s really in the bag, about whether the food is actually good — Loyal Saints is the answer she built for them.

✗ No corn
✗ No GMOs

✗ No artificial preservatives

For a large, powerful breed, lean weight and joint support protect mobility, and bloat risk demands measured meals rather than one large meal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best dog food for a Bullmastiff?

A lean, joint-supporting, protein-rich diet fed in measured meals. Turkey + Salmon provides omega-3s for joints; Beef adds protein for the muscular build. Keep your Bullmastiff lean to protect the joints, and feed measured meals to reduce bloat risk.

Do Bullmastiffs have joint problems?

As a large breed, Bullmastiffs are predisposed to hip and elbow dysplasia. An omega-3-rich diet and lean body weight support joint health. For large-breed puppies, controlled growth nutrition matters — our Beef and Chicken labels carry the AAFCO statement for growth of large size dogs (70 lb. or more as an adult).

How much should I feed my Bullmastiffs?

Bullmastiffs typically weigh 100–130 lbs, needing about 6–7½ cups of freeze-dried raw a day as a complete meal (Beef or Turkey + Salmon; 6½–8 cups of Chicken), split into two meals. Adjust to body condition and activity; large breeds benefit from measured meals to reduce bloat risk.

Is freeze-dried raw good for a Bullmastiff?

Yes. Start with single-protein Chicken (gentlest, most digestible) using a 7–10 day transition, or Beef for more protein density. All formulas are complete and balanced, made with human-grade quality ingredients, and free of fillers and synthetic vitamin premixes.
