Day-to-Day at the Kennel: Natural Feeding for Our Cane Corsos


When it comes to raising a strong, healthy, energetic dog, food is everything. It’s not just about tossing some grub in a bowl—it’s about knowing what each dog needs to build muscle, support their joints, and keep their coat shiny.
Let’s talk about how we feed the Cane Corsos at a pro kennel, the must-have ingredients in their diet, and why natural food beats out commercial kibble hands down.

Natural Food for Cane Corsos:


The backbone of a Cane Corso’s natural diet should be high-quality protein, paired with veggies and other essential nutrients.
Today’s menu, for example:
Chicken (100%)
Pureed pumpkin and carrot
Chopped apple
Canned tuna
This time, we went with store-bought puree because we don’t always have the hours to cook the veggies ourselves. If you do it at home, it’s cheaper and better quality, but when you’re juggling over 20 dogs, sometimes you’ve got to cut corners on time.

Natural Diet or Kibble?


Here’s the big question:

“What’s better—natural food or kibble?”
The answer’s pretty straightforward: anything’s better than cheap kibble stuffed with byproducts and ash.
Natural Diet:
Boosts muscle growth
Keeps the coat glossy and healthy
Delivers real, lasting energy
Cuts down on tummy troubles
Low-Quality Commercial Kibble:
Sketchy ingredient sources
Ash and pointless additives
Dogs with less pep and weaker builds
If a kibble’s label lists “ash,” you can bet the ingredients aren’t top-notch. A dog needs meat, not factory leftovers.

How We Feed 20 Cane Corsos


Every dog’s unique, and their food’s got to match their age, activity level, and physical shape.
How we tweak it at the kennel:
  • Growing pups or competition dogs → Bigger portions, more protein
  • Dogs chilling out → Controlled servings to dodge extra weight
  • Fast-metabolism dogs → Extra calories to hold onto muscle mass
We whip up 24 kilos of food total, split up based on what each dog needs.
Mealtime: Pure Joy
When a dog’s on a natural diet, you can see the difference. Their energy, their vibe, their physique—it all levels up.
Here at the kennel, we dish out each portion in big bowls, spread out nice and even. The dogs know what’s coming and dive in with gusto, but they keep it orderly.
“But Juanma, if I don’t have time to do this every day, what’s the move?”
Easy fix:
If you can’t cook fresh daily, make a batch once a week and freeze it in portions. Then just thaw and serve—no drop in quality.

Wrapping Up: Feed Your Dog Right


If you’ve got a Cane Corso or any big breed, food isn’t some small detail. It’s what’ll make or break whether your dog’s strong, healthy, and happy—or stuck with health issues and low energy.
