My pup was eating maybe a quarter of his previous food. My vet recommended several different foods to try mentioning this one but did say it was on the pricey side. But, I loved the idea that this brand caters to the specific needs of each breed. Even with the pricer tag I figured I'd give it a try. I am so happy I did! My pup has become obsessed with meal time and eats every bit! He has put on the weight he was lacking and his coat is so soft and shiny. I am very satisfied!

Our 5 month old gsd has not liked his food since we got him at 3 months old. We have tried numerous brands of puppy food. I looked at the Royal canin for gsd puppies and read the reviews which were all good and was like “well it can’t hurt”. Today my wife and son and Luke our gsd were outside playing and went into the house. A few minutes later Luke started going crazy. My wife thought he had to go outside to use the bathroom. Which she said he just did. She opened the door and the cheesy box was on the porch and Luke was literally tearing the box open. She measured out his food of Royal Canin and she said he ate it as fast as she put it in the bowl. He laid beside the bag until she put it up Our 5 month old gsd has not liked his food since we got him at 3 months old. We have tried numerous brands of puppy food.

We brought a malnourished 12 week old puppy home from a very irresponsible breeder. His coat was like gray dust, he had worms, filthy ears, and was being fed sub-par grocery store food. He was living in a yard with 5 adult dogs, and his food was thrown on the ground. He had to fend for himself. My incredible Veterinarian recommended RC German Shepherd puppy food, explaining this food was designed just for puppies like him. He has gained 30 appropriate pounds, has a sleek physique, and shinny beautiful coat! I strongly recommend this food for every GS puppy.

So, recently I wrote a review of Royal Canin GSD adult. I love the food but decided to try a switch to another brand because Royal Canin is so expensive...especially when you have a large breed dog that eats a lot. Because I am unable to edit that review, I'll put my edited review here. I can sum it up in one sentence. Royal Canin is the best food out there and it's worth every penny. My German Shepherd is doing ok on the new food but since she has been on it for about a month...I have started noticing changes that I do not like. Her coat is becoming dull. It's not anywhere near as shiny anymore. Also, she is really shedding and she is scratching and itching all the time. In addition So, recently I wrote a review of Royal Canin GSD adult.

It's not anywhere near as shiny anymore. Also, she is really shedding and she is scratching and itching all the time. In addition, she has been having massive poops. They're solid but it's literally twice as much on the new food. This can only mean that nutrients are not being absorbed properly. In other words...it's all coming out the other end...or maybe it's the beet pulp? Whatever the case, it can't be good that this is happening. Another thing: she has gained at least 5 pounds in this short amount of time. Not good for joints, bones, or delicate back legs and hips. (I guess I should have waited to post my original review - oh well!!) Another funny thing I noticed: the kibble I switched her to seems really good but you know what? It smells hollow. It just doesn't smell like a meal she would want to eat. I know that sounds crazy but Royal Canin smells like real food. It actually makes me hungry when I smell it. What can I say - I'm a dog owner ok! Things like this do matter! Bottom line: my girl is back on Royal Canin and I'm going to keep her on it from now on. It really is worth it. … more

He likes taste. But, trying to figure out what food is best is a nightmare. No grain - grain, no chicken meal, no peas, no potatoes, etc. Decided to try a less expensive brand until I figure this out.

This food is bagged in a heavy mylar bag with a zip top, which is a nice touch. My 8 month old Shepherd loves it, but so does my 9 month old Golden Retriever! The Shepherd, in my opinion, is a bit on the shrimpy side, so I bought this hoping she might grow. It's only been a week, so I can't say if it works. This will most likely be the only bag of this she ever gets, considering the cost. It must be great though. They really eat it up!

I am happy with this food. My puppy is very picky and he eats this better than any of the other brands I have tried. I gave it only four stars because it is a little costly.

My vet recommended that I move my GSD puppy to Royal Canin, as she believes it's the best food for him. All I can say is, he loves it and there are no digestion issues with the change.

My puppy is doing great on this food and having it delivered quickly right to my door for the same price or even a little less than the pet store is worth it. Chewy service is outstanding and their commitment to animals is admirable. Great return policy!

I was suprised when I placed an order on 1/17/20 for more puppy food that the price increased by over 10% from my previous order that was placed on 1/6/20
