Fromm Heartland Gold Grain-Free Large Breed Adult Dry Dog Food
Know Before You Buy
- Animal proteins in this recipe: Beef, pork meat and bone meal, pork liver, egg, pork fat, salmon oil, cheese, lamb.
- Contains: Beef ... Pork ... Lamb ... Fish (salmon oil) ... Egg ... Dairy (cheese) ... Lentils, peas, chickpeas and pea flour ... Potatoes and sweet potatoes ... Yeast.
- Does not contain: Chicken, duck, turkey, blueberries, cranberries, corn, wheat, rice, barley, oats or soy (per the manufacturer's ingredient list).
- A beef and pork food. The real proteins are beef and pork (pork meat and bone meal, pork liver, pork fat). There is no chicken, duck or turkey in it. Lamb appears only after dried yeast, near the bottom of the main list, so it is not a lamb diet.
- Life stage: Fromm's AAFCO statement covers growth and maintenance, including growth of large size dogs (70 lb or more as an adult).
Heartland Gold Large Breed Adult takes the beef and pork recipe of Heartland Gold and sizes it for big dogs. It's lower in fat and calories per cup than the regular adult formula, so a large dog can eat a full, satisfying bowl without the calories running away from you.
What's actually in it
Beef leads, then pork meat and bone meal, a concentrated pork protein that includes some bone. Pork liver, dried egg product, pork fat, salmon oil and cheese follow. Lamb is on the list, but it sits after dried yeast, so it's a minor ingredient rather than a main protein.
The starches are lentils, peas, chickpeas, pea flour, potatoes and sweet potatoes, with no grains. Salmon oil and flaxseed add omega fatty acids, which Fromm includes to support skin and coat, and Fromm adds a probiotic blend and chicory root extract, which they include to support digestion. Compared with Heartland Gold Adult, the minimum fat drops from 16% to 12% and the calories from 378 to 350 per cup.
Who it suits, and who it doesn't
It suits a large or giant adult dog who needs to avoid chicken, duck or turkey, or who does well on red meat. Fromm's AAFCO statement includes growth of large size dogs, so it can be fed to a big puppy as well, though Fromm makes a dedicated Heartland Gold Large Breed Puppy. Fromm describes this as a grain-free recipe, and the starches come from lentils, peas, chickpeas and potatoes. If your veterinarian has talked with you about grain-free foods or legumes, bring this ingredient list along to your next visit.
It isn't for a dog avoiding beef, pork, fish oil, egg or dairy, and Fromm's chart starts at 50 lb, so a smaller dog is better served by Heartland Gold Adult. If you're unsure, our Personal Pet Consultant is happy to help ... call 732-938-4470.

AAFCO statement
Fromm Family Heartland Gold® Large Breed Adult Food for Dogs with Red Meat is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for growth and maintenance, including growth of large size dogs (70 lb. or more as an adult).
Calorie content
3,462 kcal/kg ... 1,574 kcal/lb ... 350 kcal per cup. A cup means a standard 8-fluid-ounce dry measuring cup, filled level. It measures volume, not 8 ounces by weight, so scoop it rather than weigh it.
Feeding guidelines
Fromm's published daily amounts, by your dog's ideal weight. Fromm's chart for this food starts at 50 lb and runs in 5 lb steps to 100 lb, then 10 lb steps to 200 lb. Split the total across two meals.
| Ideal weight | Less active adult | Active adult |
|---|---|---|
| 50 lb | 2 cups | 3 cups |
| 55 lb | 2⅛ cups | 3¼ cups |
| 60 lb | 2¼ cups | 3½ cups |
| 65 lb | 2½ cups | 3⅔ cups |
| 70 lb | 2⅔ cups | 3⅞ cups |
| 75 lb | 2¾ cups | 4⅛ cups |
| 80 lb | 2⅞ cups | 4⅓ cups |
| 85 lb | 3 cups | 4½ cups |
| 90 lb | 3⅛ cups | 4¾ cups |
| 95 lb | 3¼ cups | 4⅞ cups |
| 100 lb | 3⅓ cups | 5⅛ cups |
| 110 lb | 3⅔ cups | 5½ cups |
| 120 lb | 3⅞ cups | 5⅞ cups |
| 130 lb | 4⅛ cups | 6¼ cups |
| 140 lb | 4⅓ cups | 6½ cups |
| 150 lb | 4½ cups | 6⅞ cups |
| 160 lb | 4¾ cups | 7¼ cups |
| 170 lb | 5 cups | 7½ cups |
| 180 lb | 5¼ cups | 7⅞ cups |
| 190 lb | 5½ cups | 8¼ cups |
| 200 lb | 5⅔ cups | 8½ cups |
These are starting points, not prescriptions. Fromm notes that puppies, and dogs that are pregnant or nursing, may need two to four times more food, and spayed or neutered dogs may need up to 25% less. Check your dog's body condition after two or three weeks... ribs easy to feel under a thin layer, a waist visible from above... and adjust. Always keep fresh water out.
Switching over
Change foods gradually over about a week. Start with roughly a quarter Heartland Gold Large Breed Adult mixed into the old food, move to half, then three quarters, then all Heartland Gold Large Breed Adult. Going slowly gives your dog's stomach time to adjust.
Sizes, and how many cups you get
26 lb bag, which holds roughly 117 level cups. For a 70 lb active adult eating 3⅞ cups a day, that's about a month. Cup counts are worked out from Fromm's published calorie figures and are close estimates, since kibble settles as a bag is handled.
Storage
Keep the food in its original bag, rolled down tight, somewhere cool and dry. If you use a bin, put the whole bag inside it rather than pouring the kibble in, so the lot number stays with the food.
