The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a large breed and grows quickly. The puppy's bones and joints are quickly overloaded. That is why it is important that the puppies get a balanced, high-quality diet. Sufficient nutrients to grow, but not too much food so that they do not become too fat. It is best not to change food for a puppy. If the puppy is doing well on its current diet, you should definitely not change it. If you are not satisfied and still want to change, Denkadog Pup Junior Croc is a food that fully supports the growth of puppies up to 1 year.

The Rhodesian Ridgeback unfortunately has a predisposition to developing hip dysplasia (HD) and elbow dysplasia (ED), but also spondylosis (fusion of the vertebrae). There are several factors that influence the development of these conditions. This can be due to too much and wild playing during the early years. Climbing stairs at a young age is also not good. Overweight is also an important factor. If a dog is too heavy, the strain on the joints is also great. With the right nutrition you can support the body well.
If there are joint problems or stiffness, we recommend Denkadog Joints Care . Denkadog Joints Care contains extra omega 3 and lecithin to support the joints.
