Anyone Cane Corso Breeders can tell you that feeding their pet is among the most expensive aspects of having them. They are massive dogs with huge appetites that are equal. As long as they are growing they will require food that is designated as suitable for puppies of a large breed. They can be carefully balanced in order to help support the growth of a healthy puppy slow growth or too fast can be equally hazardous.
What amount a one-year-old Cane Corso can eat is contingent on the food they're eating. If you purchase food from a pet shop, be sure to follow the portion guidelines printed on the package. The diets made from scratch and raw need to be reviewed to be approved and endorsed by a vet and reviewed on a regular basis. If you're concerned that the diet of your Cane Corso is growing weight too fast or isn't growing as fast seek advice from a veterinarian prior to making any modifications to their food.
When is the best time to change to a diet for adults?
Giant breeds of dogs take longer than all other breeds to reach the point of physical maturity. This makes sense since the gap between their weight at the time of their birth as well as their weight at maturity is higher! A year-old Cane Corso puppy is not yet fully developed Therefore, your breeder or veterinarian might suggest that they stay eating puppies' food for a little longer. Switching to a food that can be used by all stages of life instead of just adult dogs. If you're not sure, ask them - they'll be delighted to give advice!
What is the typical behavior of a one-year-old Cane Corso?
Let's shift from the physical, and onto the emotional. What can you expect from an infant Cane Corso to behave? Their past is important here. Much like many large breeds, the Cane Corso can be initially developed to be an animal guard. There were dogs trained to carry out hunter and herding duties however, more importantly, they were used to guard livestock and properties.
Guarding breeds are generally slower than average in reaching emotional maturity.
They might retain certain puppy behavior throughout their lives. The longer period of feeling and thinking like an infant means that they have more time to build strong emotional bonds with their group of friends. That's why they want to defend their belongings selflessly and without hesitation whenever they feel they are in threat.
If you're Cane Corso appears young at present isn't a surprise. They're still maturing and their behavior won't be stable until they're at minimum one year old. It's possible to watch their development to 4 years older.
