Giant Dog

Giant breeds, on the other hand, often have the following disadvantages:
- They eat more than smaller breeds. For an example, giant breeds might require up to 4 cups of food twice per day, as opposed to 2.5 cups twice per day for a dog between 55-80 lbs. Often, they require specialty diets to tackle weight and joint management.
- Expenses overall may be more than for most breeds. Larger beds, collars, and toys cost more, as do grooming and kenneling very large dogs. There is also the issue of more expensive veterinary bills. For instance, anaesthetics and pharmaceuticals are charged by volume/mass, which is determined by the weight of the dog.
