excatly!:) so no, pit bulls should NOT be eating large breed dog foods! that drives me crazy. the calcium and phosphate levels to high for a medium breed dog you feed them you run the risk of osteo dieases and malformation of the bones in dogs of this size..okay i had to get that rant out..i feel better :)

Lol you tell em girl......:D

LOL i get so frustrated. i wish the dumb dog food bags would be more specific..large breed means LARGE BREED lol not 50+ pounds.

As far as sizes go many of these dogs knecks n chests qualify as large breed sizes. My boys don't fit into regular sizes at just over 60 n 65 lbs I don't think they are large but there sizes are.

yeah and i think thats what confuses ppl. But an APBT bone structure is not one of a large breed dog. Large breed dog food is designed to "enhance" the growth of large breed's bones... As far as i know large dogs bones can grow to fast or something and this food is suposed to help with that.

Yes i use the high performance dog food so it has has high protein.

excatly! large breeds are dogs like rottweilers, great danes, mastiffs, saint bernards, etc LARGE BREEDS

large breed food is based on a weight AND height ratio... alot of ppl think "oh my dog is over 60lbs let me get it a large breed food" when that isnt the case. like PM said its for dogs like rotties, danes, gsds....
