Maintaining a Healthy Weight in English Mastiffs
Healthy weight in an English Mastiff is about much more than a number on the scale. Because every dog differs in genetics, bone structure, height, muscle mass, and overall build, veterinarians often place greater emphasis on body condition than body weight alone. A healthy Mastiff should appear balanced, well-muscled, and capable of moving comfortably without carrying unnecessary body fat.
The Science of Longevity: Genetics, Lifestyle, and the Daily Habits That Shape an English Mastiff's Life
No single food, supplement, exercise program, or veterinary procedure determines how long an English Mastiff will live. Longevity is influenced by many interconnected factors, including genetics, responsible breeding, nutrition, body condition, exercise, preventative healthcare, environment, training, and the relationship between dog and owner.
