What each stage means for a Dogue de Bordeaux

  • Young adult (1–3): still learning. Keep training consistent and set the healthy weight now; for a Dogue de Bordeaux that is usually within 99–120 lb.
  • Mature adult (3–5): yearly checkups, dental care and steady exercise. Watch the waistline as activity drops.
  • Senior (6+): many vets suggest checkups every six months, plus attention to joints, teeth and weight changes.

A spayed or neutered adult around 110 lb needs roughly 2,100 calories a day, about 5.5 cups of a typical 380-calorie-per-cup dry food. See the full feeding guide for a 110 lb dog.
