What does a Kuvasz need from their diet?

A Kuvasz needs balanced, protein-rich nutrition, sustainable energy, and joint-supporting ingredients to maintain lifelong vitality.

Kuvasz dogs are large, muscular, and naturally active. They thrive on meals centred around good-quality protein to maintain lean muscle and overall strength. Energy should come from balanced fats - omega-rich oils - and complex carbohydrates for steady energy throughout the day.

Joint care is especially important for this breed. Diets should include calcium and phosphorus for strong bones, along with omega-3 fatty acids to help reduce inflammation and support flexibility. Because Kuvasz dogs can have sensitive digestion, gentle, highly digestible ingredients are key. That’s why Marleybones’ Pantry Fresh® meals, slow-cooked in pack to preserve nutrients, are carefully designed with these needs in mind.

• Top-quality protein to keep muscles strong
• Balanced fats and complex carbohydrates for lasting energy
• Calcium, phosphorus and omega-3s for bone and joint care
• Gentle, easily digestible natural ingredients
• Formulations that match large-breed nutritional needs

What key nutritional factors influence a Kuvasz’s health?

Joint support, digestive balance, antioxidants, coat care, and healthy weight management all influence a Kuvasz’s wellbeing.

Maintaining joint health is a major focus for large, active dogs like the Kuvasz. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation and support mobility. Ingredients that aid gut health - such as prebiotic fibres - also play an important role, as a balanced gut supports nutrient absorption and immune strength.

Antioxidants from fresh fruits and vegetables help protect cells from oxidative stress while supporting immunity. For coat and skin health, look for omega oils and trace minerals like zinc. And most importantly, maintaining a healthy weight reduces stress on joints and contributes to long-term comfort and movement.

• Omega-3s and anti-inflammatory nutrients for joint comfort
• Prebiotic fibres (for example chicory root, yucca) for digestion
• Antioxidant-rich produce for immune support
• Omega oils and zinc for a healthy, glossy coat
• Calorie-balanced recipes to prevent excess weight

What practical steps help you choose the right food for a Kuvasz?

The right food for a Kuvasz is chosen by prioritising natural ingredients, nutritional completeness, and careful observation of your dog’s wellbeing.

• Confirm meals meet recognised nutritional standards
• Feed according to your Kuvasz’s activity and life stage
