Are you someone who loves x-large or giant breeds of dogs? If so, you are a special kind of person who understand the needs, requirements, and absolute joy that comes when sharing your life with one of the exceptional dogs. A giant dog is a dog that weighs over 100 pounds, and while their personalities may be similar as regards needs for affection and attention, their very size can pose problems. Big Ass Dog Company has designed a line of products that may help make your life with one of these beautiful dogs a bit easier for all concerned. Whether you have a Newfoundland, Neapolitan Mastiff, St. Bernard, English Mastiff, or a Great Dane, you know that difficulties can arise simply because of the size of the dog.

A Big Dog Problem
Giant dogs are generally as healthy as any other breed, but their joints are one area where they may have problems. Hip dysplasia can occur in any breed of dog, but very large dogs may get more than their share of joint pain. This not only reflects a possible genetic predisposition, but also simply that your dog’s weight puts more strain on their joints. Big Ass Dog Company is dedicated to helping your dog have the most comfortable and supportive rest and sleep time as possible. Remember, too that it’s n ot just the hips that can become painful, a dog’s elbows and knees can become irritated and inflamed.
-
The Big Ass Bolster Bed could be the perfect solution to providing your x-large or giant dog with a comfortable place to sleep. This bed has an impressive 6.5” of orthopedic foam and memory foam to help support your dog’s joints. You won’t have to worry about this bed ‘flattening out’ and leaving your dog with almost nothing between him or her and the floor. The cover is easy to remove and toss into the mashing machine when necessary.
-
If your dog is really, really large, you might find the Gigantic Ass Bed to be perfect for you and your dog or dogs. This bed is 79” by 36” and has an all around bolster. Our Frenchies always liked sleeping with their heads elevated, so this bed will be perfect for any dog that prefers sleeping like this. The bolster makes a comforting support, too. The Gigantic Ass Bed not only provides orthopedic foam to cushion those joints, but also a cooling layer to keep your dog comfortable in warmer weather.

Whether you are taking your dog along on a vacation or want to spend more time outside, you’ll still need somewhere he or she can lie down. The Big Ass Tri-FoldAway is an indoor/outdoor bed available in large and x-large sizes. Almost 5” of orthopedic foam helps makes sure your big guy or gal can stretch out in comfort. The nylon cover laughs at water and damp. When folded up, these beds would be easy to tuck into the corner of your RV, camper, or car. You can even keep it partly unfolded in the rear of the van to help ensure a pleasant ride for your dog.
Big Ass beds can go a long way to helping support your dog’s joints, but sometimes a bit more help is needed. You might well find that Big Ass Mobility Bites and Big Ass Joint Juice could help alleviate joint pain, especially when combined with one of the Big Ass beds. Both these supplements contain hemp and CBG to help reduce the inflammation and pain associated with problem joints. The Mobility Bites are tasty chicken flavored biscuits, while Joint Juice delivers a hearty beef flavor.
Keeping Control
People sometimes underestimate how very strong dogs are. Even our French Bulldogs sometimes exhibited surprising strength, so I can just imagine how powerful a dog like a Boerboel or a Dogue de Bordeaux must be. While any dog requires training to some degree, large and giant dogs definitely need training, and part of any training regimen requires strong, quality collars, harnesses, and leashes. Spindly, lightweight leashes might work fine with a dog that weighs 30 pounds, but when you’re walking a 180 pound Neapolitan Mastiff, you will want to be confident that your dog’s gear measures up to his or her strength. Fortunately, Big Ass Dog has designed a line of strong, dependable equipment that respects your dog’s power.
-
For normal walks and training, the Big Ass Leash is perfect. Nylon is one of the strongest flexible materials, and this leash can stand up to the strongest pullers. If you’re looking for a monster of a leash, you’ll want the Big Ass Tactical Leash, 72” of control. Made of nylon and 1.5” wide, the Tactical Leash is made for the really big boys and girls. The handle is padded to protect your hand from unexpected jerks and pulls.
-
Along with a leash, you’ll need a collar, and a great choice is the Big Ass Tactical Collar. This is available in two sizes, Large or X-Large, to fit the most muscular neck. You’ll appreciate the cobra latch for fastening, and I found that these latches were great when you want to get a collar on fast. Sure, we just used them for our Frenchies, but these latches are strong and dependable and never failed us.
-
For those who want better control and may be worried about their dog’s throat, the Big Ass Tactical Harness is the answer. This comes in 6 sizes from Medium to 4XL to fit the broadest and most muscular chest. We preferred harnesses with our dogs, especially after Springer’s collar slipped right over his head when we were leading him, reluctantly, into the vet. A larger dog is inherently more difficult to control, so using a harness could make it easier for you to handle your giant friend. The top handle allows for direct intervention if needed.
-
For those would would appreciate both collar and leash together, the Big Ass Leash & Collar Combo. This is the perfect all-in-one set to get your dog trotting along in confidence and style. The collar will fit a neck up to 36” and the nylon leash can manage the strongest yank. A padded handle make this leash a joy to use.
I know how proud you can feel when walking your dog down the street, and Big Ass leashes, collars, and harness make this much easier and more enjoyable for you both. Anyone with a large, powerful dog must worry about whether there will be a break or equipment fail during an outing, but Big Ass can help make you much more confident simply because you are using collars and leashes specifically designed to stand up to strong and determined dogs.
Yes, there is something special about every dog, big or small, but there really is something really special about very large and giant dogs that makes them stand out. Strong, protective, and authoritative, these dogs are also affectionate and enjoy being around the family. Most are good with children, too. When you’re looking to address the needs of your giant dog, look no further than the Big Ass Dog Company, dedicated to the support of large and giant dogs.
