I agree that a food for "all life stages" may be a good idea. Because puppy food promotes a fast growth it is not always a good choice with danes. Simply because they are so large and growing at a fast rate would be like a boy in highschool sprouting 6 inches in a year. Joint problems could develop.

I have never fed a raw diet and I also do not have a great dane (yet ) I am interested in raw diets but I don't know how to tell how much of what they should get.
