The best advice I can give is to look for a premium diet that has a high nutritional value. If your dog likes it and it also agrees with his digestive system, then it is already sure to be a winner brand. If it also keeps his coat looking shiny and healthy as well as leaving his doggy-breath survivable (hehe), then you have found the ideal nutritional source. Another option is to go all modern and try out the very new and much-talked about revolutionary BARF diet. The BARF diet only uses natural foods that are organic and raw. It has also been researched that large dogs fair well with the BARF diet, since it also plays an important role in preventing bone diseases and health issues that could arise from problematic joints. It also seems to play a role in healthy digestion, since only natural foods are ingested – as nature intended. But like with most things, I think the best thing is to let you find out which suits you and your dog the best. It is nevertheless, advisable to buy a large stainless steel bowl for your Cane Corso. They are easy to clean, and are dishwasher-safe as well. Do a bit of reseach and find out which appeals to you the most.
Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!
A Cane Coso is a devoted and loyal protector. But only of that which he holds dearest. Thus it has to be mentioned that a Cane Corso is naturally reserved and aloof with strangers. After a while- seeing that his owner is comfortable- he will generally start to relax. Respect of the stranger comes only once the stranger has earned it. The Cane Corso is a very quiet breed. They seldom bark, and loud barking may arise from seperation anxiety. This is a common trait of the breed. It is therefore imperative that a Cane Corso is well-trained and socialized so that it can not only be an ideal representative of its breed, but also of dogs and its family as well.
The Cane Corso is an amazing breed that originates in Italy. Most probably this breed comes from the same stock as the Neapolitan mastiff; the Roman war dog “Canis Pugnax”. While the Neapolitan Mastiff was powerful and heavy in weight, the Corso had advantages in agilty, stamina and speed. The Cane Corso is a recently recovered breed, and sadly its history is not well known. There are differing views about its origin and much of the infomation is shrouded in mystery. This breed was mostly found in Southern Italy; in Puglia. Similar dogs existed in areas of Sicily. Its role was mostly to hunt game, and thus it was kept on farms. It was also used as a guard dog, as a fighting dog and had many other purposes that made it a good working dog as well. The Cane Corso almost became extinct. In the 1980’s a small group of Cane Corso enthusiasts decided to take the breed under their wings and try to recover the breed from near extinction. These days, the breed is becoming very popular around the globe!
