Suitable for puppies up to 15 months old, ROYAL CANIN® German Shepherd Puppy has a specialized kibble shape 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. Royal Canin Breed Health Nutrition 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.

Formulated for German Shepherds
ROYAL CANIN® German Shepherd Adult Dry Dog Food is designed exclusively for pure breed German Shepherd over 15-months of age.
Digestive performance: This formula addresses sensitive digestion common in German Shepherds with highly digestible proteins and a selection of specific fibres. These limit intestinal fermentation and help maintain a balanced intestinal flora.
Healthy skin & coat: Appropriate food plays an important part in maintaining the quality of the skin and coat. ROYAL CANIN® German Shepherd Adult Dry Dog Food helps support the skin's role as a barrier with a tailored nutrient profile, and helps maintain skin and coat health with added EPA and DHA.
Bone & joint support: German Shepherds tend to have a lively temperament that can lead to hard-working joints. This formula helps support healthy bones and joints and maintain an ideal weight. Enriched with EPA and DHA.
Exclusive Kibble: German Shepherds have a long, strong muzzle with equally strong teeth. The size, shape and texture of the kibble in ROYAL CANIN® German Shepherd Adult Dry Dog Food is tailor made for easy pick up whilst also encouraging dogs to chew.
Why Pure Breed Dogs Need Tailored Nutrition
From their personalities to their distinctive physiologies, pure breed dogs have unique characteristics that make them sought-after and beloved companions. When choosing a diet for your pet, it's important to keep in mind the unique characteristics of their breed including:
Face and Jaw: All dogs fall into two basic jaw types: Brachycephalic or Mesocephalic. Breeds with short, broad muzzles (like Bulldogs) are examples of a brachycephalic jaw. Breeds with a longer muzzle (like Labrador Retrievers) are examples of mesocephalic breeds. The jaw type, and even biting patterns can affect how a breed picks up kibble. All ROYAL CANIN® breed diets feature a tailor-made kibble shape to meet their unique needs.
Skin Types: The skin's most important function is to serve as a barrier of protection - but not all breeds have the same skin type. From wrinkled and folded (which traps heat and moisture) to sensitive or water resistant, precise levels of key nutrients are included in ROYAL CANIN® breed diets to help support their unique skin health needs.
Distinctive Coats: There's more to a coat than meets the eye. From the colour and texture to undercoats, each pure breed dog has a unique coat with unique needs which are catered for with ROYAL CANIN® breed diets.
