Digestibility is going to determine whether he gets full faster on another food. Since you're sticking to Earthborn it's probably not going to change a whole lot, and I'm guessing it's highly digestible because it's a super premium kibble. I see that the Great Plains and Coastal Catch both have more protein than the Meadow Feast. I'll be interested to know if you see any change in the stools. My BM seems to get softer stools with higher protein, which I suppose is ok with me because the lower protein foods are cheaper anyway. lol
He digests it very quickly for sure. Usually in between eating he has to go outside. Then 30min after eating he has to again

Yeah I weigh him every week. First week he did not gain any weight just added height. I have heard that mixing other stuff into his food can make him become a picky eater is the reason why I haven’t done it

I read that adding vegetables to a dog's diet may reduce cancer risk by 90 pct. Even if it's only partially true I'll give it a go. A lot of mastiffs die to cancer. Vegetables are a natural part of their diet, and we all know how beneficial it is for us.

A big dog needs high-quality nutrition, enriched with a sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals. How many times a day to feed a dog depends on its age. Puppies are fed frequently, at least 4 times a day. After a year, the dogs are transferred to two meals a day. The amount of food consumed depends on the dog's size, and it should not be less than 3% of the total weight, according to the website https://shelterapet.com. When feeding the dog with ready-made feeds, the portion may be smaller. Super-premium feeds are already balanced and concentrated, so look for just such feeds.
