Unfortunately my 9 year old German shepherd had a horrible reaction to this food that lead to two trips to the vet and $500 worth of testing. She was pacing the house all hours of the day and night, panting, squeaking, and itching. I don’t leave this review to bash the product because obviously others have had great experiences. But if this happens to your dog, stop feeding them this!! My dog was only eating it for 4-5 days and only getting small portions mixed in with her homemade food to transition and it was suddenly like I had a totally different dog in the worst way.

I’ve been using this brand for my dog for years. The only downside is the 5+ dog food comes in a smaller bag and it’s pricier. But my 6 year old german shepherd still has good hips and a nice coat, so it’s worth it to me. He is only slightly picky but he seems to have favored this brand.

Cannot say enough great things about the Royal Canin dog food. It is very high quality and my German Shepherd just loves it and even my Cavapoo steals some of her sister’s kibble and enjoys it too. Great product and a reasonable price!

Improved stools

On other high quality dog food my 100 pound 11 year German Shepherd would have stools so soft they were unformed. In talking with my vet, they recommended this food

On other high quality dog food my 100 pound 11 year German Shepherd would have stools so soft they were unformed. In talking with my vet, they recommended this food as specific for Shepherds due to their very long bodies with a very long digestive tract. Almost immediately, my dog had formed stool, thus better digestion and more absorption of vital fluids. I also notice that he seems to need to drink less water.
