The New Gold Standard


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do large breed dogs really need a different food?
Their nutrition isn't exotic, but the load on their body is. Big dogs carry more weight on every joint and eat far more of whatever is in the bowl, so ingredient quality compounds meal after meal. Ethelia Titans is built for exactly that: 70% fresh chicken and fish, 28% protein, and it's the only recipe in our range with added glucosamine and chondroitin.
He is not limping. Why should I worry about joints at all?
Because arthritis in dogs is usually bilateral. It hits both hips or both elbows at once, so the gait stays symmetrical and there is nothing obvious to spot. That is exactly what the Tennessee study found: 18 dogs with arthritis on X-ray, none of them diagnosed, none of their owners suspecting a thing. What owners do notice, when they think back, is a dog who takes the stairs slower or hesitates before getting up. Food does not treat arthritis. It does decide how much extra weight those joints carry and what raw material the body has to work with.
I worry about bloat. Does the food or the way I feed matter?
Bloat is a serious risk in large breeds, so talk to your vet about your dog's individual situation. Most vets agree on the basics: split the daily ration into two or more calm meals and avoid hard exercise right after eating. It also helps to know what's in the stomach. Ethelia's cold-pressed bites dissolve 20x faster than extruded kibble instead of sitting there for hours.
How much Titans does a big dog actually eat per day?
From our FEDIAF-based feeding tables: an active 30 kg dog needs 395.3 g per day and an active 40 kg dog 490.5 g. The full table is printed on every bag. The right amount is always the one that keeps your dog lean, so adjust with your eyes and hands, not just the scoop.
Is 28% protein too much for a large breed?

Can my large breed puppy eat Titans, and when should I switch?
Yes. Every Ethelia recipe is FEDIAF-compliant and suitable for puppies as well as adults. Titans is designed for large-breed adults, and big breeds mature late; many are only fully grown at 18 to 24 months, so time the switch with your vet. The feeding table on the bag covers the portions either way.
