Breed Buzz - Great Dane

We have a special place in our hearts for the beautiful Great Dane because they were the original inspiration for Evanger’s back in 1935! Fred Evanger bred, exhibited, and championed Great Danes in international kennel clubs. He was a fervent believer that his dogs' health and the health of their offspring were dependent on wholesome, nutritious food, and strongly advocated that this was the key to his success in the show ring. Mr. Evanger built a canning factory at his kennels so that he could make a quality pet food, free of harmful additives or preservatives; that was superior enough for his champions. Over 78 years later, we know that Fred Evanger was a man ahead of his time.

Great Danes are probably best known for their size and power. Its charming and gentle disposition makes it a wonderful family dog, trustworthy around children, and affectionate towards people. Its thick short coat comes in brindle, fawn, black, blue, mantle harlequin and sometimes merle. With proper nutrition, the coat is easy to maintain with regular brushing.

Great Dane puppies do not stay small for long! They require excellent nutrition to fuel this rapid growth, ensuring proper development of skeletal and muscle structure. For an ideal Great Dane diet, we recommend our Classic Line, the original recipes from Fred Evanger, of course! Evanger's Beef with Chicken & Liver is Grain-Free and Gluten-Free, and makes a great complement to our Super Premium and Grain Free dry foods.

Here are some of Fred Evanger's 23 Champion Great Danes, all of which were on his own food, Evanger's.  Great Danes grow from 3/4 of a pound to 125 lbs in ONE YEAR, so diet deficiency is immediately apparent and top nutrition is a must.

Here's our line of Classic Foods that were started by Fred Evanger for his Danes back in the 1930s.  The label designs and formulas are quite similar to what they have been for the last 80 years!
