Mix it Up with Dry and Wet Food

do i need to transition feed my 15 month old gsd from royal canin gsd puppy dry food to royal canin gsd adult food?

Answer by ChewySep 19, 2019
If your pet has a sensitive stomach you may want to transition. Otherwise, transitioning isn't needed. The recipes are similar but they contain a couple of different vitamins and nutrients that's specifically needed for either puppies or adult dogs

Game changer

I have had german shepherds for over 20 years now, and I have always resisted buying this food, due to both the price and the conflicting reviews I'd read online

I have had german shepherds for over 20 years now, and I have always resisted buying this food, due to both the price and the conflicting reviews I'd read online. We got a new GSD puppy last fall, and he has probably the most sensitive stomach of any dog we've ever had before, bless his heart. I tried several different diets until I finally did what our vet told me to do in the first place, which was to try this diet. It immediately fixed my puppy's repeated instances of diarrhea! I only wish I had tried it sooner and saved myself all that aggravation!

She loves it.

Right now I’m mixing this with other food to transition. It’s clear my puppy prefers this to her old food. It’s expensive but worthwhile investment in your growing
