Nutritional Information
100% COMPLETE AND BALANCED NUTRITION
Grand Future Dog Food is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages including growth of large-size dogs (70 lbs or more as an adult), adult maintenance, gestation (pregnancy), and lactation (nursing).
The Grand Future Difference
- According to established research, grass-fed beef fat contains 5-6 times more anti-inflammatory omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids compared to grain-fed beef fat. Grass-fed beef is also rich in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a unique polyunsaturated omega-6 isomer with anti-inflammatory, immune-supporting, and anti-cancer properties for dogs. [Daley et al. (2010) – A review of fatty acid profiles and antioxidant content in grass-fed and grain-fed beef]
Grand Future Dog Food uses grass-fed, grass-finished beef as the sole source of protein, with no other meats or fillers, to deliver these nutritional benefits for your dog's optimal health and vitality.

Our Philosophy: Beyond AAFCO Minimums
We ensure every bag of Grand Future Dog Food strictly adheres to AAFCO nutrient profiles to guarantee a complete, balanced, and safe meal for all life stages. AAFCO provides the essential safety floor for pet nutrition.
Our philosophy, however, aims for the ceiling of optimal canine health.
The current AAFCO guidelines focus on nutrient minimums, and treat all protein sources equally on paper. In practice, we believe the source and bioavailability of nutrients matter significantly more.
We choose to prioritize animal-based proteins and fats because, in our experience as breeders, a dog’s digestion is optimized for meat. We believe that relying heavily on plant concentrates or synthetic nutrients places an undue burden on their system over time.
We invest in high-quality gress-fed beef ingredients because we believe in feeding dogs the diet nature intended, not just a lab-created minimum requirement. This approach aligns with our goal of promoting longevity and vitality in our own breeding program.

Transition period: None. Make a complete switch in one meal. Applies to any form of dog food from which you are switching - raw, kibble, dehydrated, freeze-dried, etc. Why? The balanced fresh meat & organ nutrition of Grand Future Dog Food is modeled after the natural carnivore diet of African Wild Dogs. The ingredients are easily digestible and non-inflammatory to dogs.
If your dog currently has loose stool, we recommend contacting us for individual guidance so that we can help you stop the cycle of intestinal inflammation as you make the switch to Grand Future Dog Food. There are simple pre-requisite steps we recommend to provide your dog's digestive system some relief and reduce/eliminate the pre-existing intestinal inflammation to make the switch to our food as effortless and pleasant as possible.
Switch from raw: Divide your current raw meat serving weight by 3. Each pound of Grand Future air-dried meat is made from 3 lbs of raw beef & organs. 30 lbs of raw meat is comparable to one 10 lb bag of Grand Future Dog Food.
Each 12oz fresh raw beef ≈ 1 cup Grand Future (4oz by weight, 8oz by volume).
Switch from kibble like Hill's, Royal Canin, Purina Pro Plan: Reduce volume by 25%-40% (Depends on the particular kibble's digestible caloric density). Replace each 1 cup of kibble with ⅗-¾ cup of Grand Future Dog Food as initial baseline and adjust from there.
FEEDING DIRECTIONS Feed dry or add water. Grand Future Dog Food will not expand in the stomach. Use a standard 8oz measuring cup. Requirements may vary based on age, breed, and activity level. We recommend feeding adults twice per day.
DAILY FEEDING GUIDE Feed 1 cup per day for every:
- Puppies (2-10 mos): 10 – 25 lbs of body weight
- Juniors (10-18 mos): 20 – 35 lbs of body weight
- Adults: 30 – 40 lbs of body weight
- Seniors: 35 – 45 lbs of body weight
Number of Portions: Each 10 lb bag contains about 40 standard 8oz volume cups.
Each cup of Grand Future Dog Food weighs about 4 ounces.
Please Note:
All dogs have different levels of activity and metabolism. This is a general guide applicable to Grand Future American Bulldogs who typically weigh 105-130 lbs at maturity. Please contact us for individual guidance.
Just put Grand Future Dog Food into the bowl right from the bag; no need to rehydrate, but you can add water if you wish - some dogs prefer that while others don't. Our air-dried beef food does not expand in the stomach like kibble.
Your dog's stool will be smaller and darker in color compared to kibble-feeding.
Same stool consistency and texture as from raw beef consumption.
