Anyone who owns a giant-breed dog is well aware of the daily challenges: the dog’s voracious appetite as it devours its food, the risk of stomach torsion, and dealing with heavy bags that can lose their aroma. In the Paco community, we recommend the 15-kg size because it represents the perfect monthly consumption cycle for a large dog, keeping the aroma and texture intact right down to the last serving. The real added value lies in the shape of the kibble, specifically designed to encourage large, voracious dogs to chew, thereby slowing down the intake of air into the stomach and providing daily joint protection without the need to purchase separate supplements.
Gemon High Premium Quality is the Monge line developed to ensure exceptional nutritional support, characterized by a formulation strictly Made in Italy and free of added artificial colors or preservatives. The use of fresh chicken meat enhances the biological value of the proteins, helping the dog maintain toned, lean muscle mass alongside a very balanced fat intake—ideal for preventing the skeletal structure from being overburdened by excess weight.
Intestinal stability is another critical factor for giant breeds. For this reason, the recipe includes natural F.O.S. prebiotics and beet pulp—a combination that nourishes beneficial gut bacteria and regulates digestive transit. Optimal nutrient absorption visibly results in greater vitality for the dog and, in practical terms, a significant reduction in the volume and odor of feces, making daily care easier for the owner.
