Royal Canin German Shepherd Puppy Dry Dog Food is tailor-made nutrition created just for your pure breed. Whether you call him a German Shepherd or an Alsatian, this exclusive breed-specific diet is uniquely formulated to your large breed puppy, with the specific nutrients to help young dogs thrive. The specialized kibble shape and texture are designed for your large dog’s long, strong muzzle and teeth, encouraging him to chew. An exclusive mix of antioxidants and vitamin E supports healthy development of puppies’ immune system and keeps his body growing strong. Highly digestible proteins and specific fibers maintain digestive health since this breed has a tendency to have poor stool quality. And glucosamine and chondroitin support bone and joint health and cartilage as your puppy grows to be a big dog. Once your German Shepherd puppy is over 15 months old, transition him from puppy dog food to Royal Canin German Shepherd Adult Dog Food for precise nutrition into his adult years.
Key Benefits- Designed to meet the nutritional needs of purebred German Shepherd puppies 8 weeks to 15 months old.
- Specialized kibble shape is designed for a German Shepherd’s long, strong muzzle to encourage chewing.
- Helps protect puppy development of immune system and natural defenses with an exclusive complex of antioxidants, including vitamin E.
- Aids digestion with highly digestible proteins and specific fibers to promote optimal stool quality.
- Maintains bone and joint health with glucosamine and chondroitin to support large breed bodies.

This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary according to your pet's temperament, activity level and environment. If you have any questions regarding your pet's health, please contact your veterinarian.
We recommend at least a 7 day transition before you begin feeding the new food exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively. This allows your pet’s digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.
How are Royal Canin diets preserved?
All of our dry diets are preserved naturally with mixed tocopherols, citric acid, and rosemary extract. Our canned diets are naturally preserved and sterilized during the cooking and canning process.
Where do the ingredients in Royal Canin diets come from?
We select our ingredients based on multiple factors, including the supplier’s compliance with our quality and food safety requirements, consistent availability, and on the nutrients required to meet the dietary needs of the pet.Royal Canin is making strides towards sustainability by attempting to obtain sources of raw materials as close to each manufacturing facility as possible. In some cases, we use international suppliers, because only those suppliers can offer raw materials that comply with our quality and food safety standards.
Why do some Royal Canin diets contain by-products?
Royal Canin chooses ingredients because they deliver high-quality nutrients that support our customized pet food formulas. Using chicken by-product meal instead of chicken meal for example will allow Royal Canin to maintain its highly customized nutrient standards while achieving a more secure and sustainable supply.

miracle food
By bullystick on Jun 30, 2021
I have a 4 month old White Swiss Shepherd who has had digestive issues since I brought him home at 8 weeks (terribly loose stool). To make matters worse, he caught a respiratory virus (meds) and had a month long bout with giardia (more meds) - my disenfranchised eater wasn’t eating much of his food & wasn’t growing like his littermates. My vet suggested a food change & a probiotic. Did a ton of research and landed on this specific choice food (coupled with the rx gastro puppy pate). Not only does my pup now eat every bite of his food, he’s basically caught up to his littermates in size and his energy is where it should be - plus, his stool has changed in quality and consistency for the better I have a 4 month old White Swiss Shepherd who has had digestive issues since I brought him home at 8 weeks (terribly loose stool).

We found a food that works!
By FINALLY on Jul 14, 2021
After three months of experimenting with multiple dog food products that claimed to address stomach sensitivity, we found Royal Canin, that really does what it says. Our sweet 7 month old Shepherd is finally on a consistent eating and eliminating schedule that does not include a mad dash to the door. He loves the taste and the shape forces more chewing which has completely stopped him from eating too fast. Thank you Royal Canin!!

Puppy loves it
By Kaye on Jun 24, 2021
I have a three month old GSD puppy. My vet suggested putting him on Royal Canin German Shepherd puppy food at his first visit. He loved it from first bite and is flourishing. I even use it for his training treats

Not the food was the delivered product
By BadDelivery on Jul 5, 2021
I’ve had my dog on this food for months and he enjoys it. Started ordering from chewy and this is the first bag. Wasn’t vacuum sealed so I’m assuming it must be stale because my dog won’t touch it.

Using Royal Canin GSD for over 25 years
By Denny on Jun 23, 2021
This kibble both puppy and adult has been used for over 25 years in all my dogs and it doesn't disappoint like other foods I try from time to time. Highly recommend this and their Rx food also

Worked for us!
By jlazenby27 on Feb 12, 2021
At our last vet visit in November, our vet recommended I switch my (at the time) 11mo GSD pup to this food from another food that he liked, but just didn't seem to be gaining any weight with. We gradually switched him over to this RC puppy food in January when we finally ran low on this original food, and he took to eating it right away. He appears to be gaining weight now (we haven't been back to the vet for a checkup yet) and he has continued to love this food. I look forward to moving him to the RC GSD adult food in a few months.
