MAXI includes dogs weighing 26 to 44 kilograms at adulthood. MAXI dogs were originally bred as working dogs, so they can withstand tests of endurance such as long walks, working under extreme conditions or keeping guard, and excel as livestock guardians, trackers, emergency rescue dogs or assistance dogs. MAXI dogs are faithful and affectionate and make ideal pets. The life expectancy of a MAXI dog is 9 to 12 years.\nThe growth period for a MAXI puppy is approximately 15 months — almost seven months longer than the growth period for MINI dogs. Through the course of this long growth period, the MAXI puppy’s diet should contain a more moderate energy level to help maintain the puppy in optimal body condition. MAXI puppies also multiply their birth weight by 70 to 90 times, compared with 20 times for MINI dogs. Therefore, it’s important that the nutritional needs of the MAXI puppy are met during this developmental stage to support healthy skeletal development.\n\nGESTATION/LACTATION SUPPORT Nutritional profile which is adapted to the bitch’s high energy needs at end of gestation and during lactation.\nIDEAL FOR TRANSITION FROM MILK Nutritional response which facilitates the transition from mother’s milk to solid food (energy value, quality protein, fats). EASY REHYDRATION The kibbles easily rehydrate to a porridge-like consistency which is very palatable for the bitch and her weaning puppies.\n
