Royal Canin knows what makes your German Shepherd magnificent is in the details. While these faithful watchdogs are highly intelligent and protective, they’re also big softies with thick double-layered coats. They can benefit from the right diet to support bone and joint health, maintain a healthy skin and coat, and support digestive health, all of which are important for this hardworking breed.
Royal Canin German Shepherd Adult dog food is tailor-made nutrition created just for your pure breed dog. Whether you call them a German Shepherd or an Alsatian, this exclusive breed-specific diet is uniquely formulated to your dog, with the specific nutrients to help them thrive. The unique kibble shape and texture are specially designed for your German Shepherd’s long, strong muzzle and teeth, encouraging them to chew. Highly digestible proteins and specific fibers maintain digestive health as this breed tends to have poor stool quality. Exclusive nutrients reinforce the skin barrier. EPA and DHA from fish oil help maintain skin and coat health. And glucosamine and chondroitin help support healthy bones and joints for large, athletic builds. Mix in or complement with Royal Canin German Shepherd wet dog food for a meal that’s sure to have your loyal buddy standing at attention.

29 Mar 2023Not just for German Shepherds
I had my 15 month old Cane Corso on a different food. Her skin was very dry, she was shedding terribly. Then she stopped eating all together. My trainer gave her some of his GSD's food and she loved it. I bought a bag and switched her without even weaning her off the old food and she had NO gastrointestinal issues or upset stomach. It was amazing. She has gained weight and her coat has improved dramatically.

04 Nov 2022Great for sensitive stomachs in other large breeds
We adopted a 2y/o husky about 3 months ago. He’s big for his breed (but at a good weight) and our vet recommended a well balanced non-grain free diet. She gave us a few brands and mentioned she fed her husky the Royal Canin GSD. We bought one of the other brands initially (solely based on availability) and started the process to switch our husky from the food his foster family was feeding him to the vet recommended non-grain free.
He didn’t have a solid stool at all - we even tried the sensitive stomach formula of the initial brand and it made it even worse.
We were at a loss and ready to take him for allergy testing and to feed him homemade food until we could sort out the issues.
When we were able to find the Royal Canin GSD blend. We grabbed a bag and made the switch - we didn’t even blend the foods. It was a hard cut over (his stools were already liquid and he was miserable what was the worst that could happen?!) within 2 days of this blend his stools were a healthy consistency. He’s been on the food for 2 weeks now and has more energy than he had when we first brought him home.
He’s a really picky husky - like won’t eat most treats unless they are just animal protein and he seems to enjoy this food.

01 Oct 2022Very disappointed would not eat
Very disappointed in this food. Just wasted money on it bc my shepherd refused to eat it. May be ok for some dogs but mine wouldn’t even eat anything if this was in bowl.

20 Jul 2022No itching!
My girl has a sensitive digestive system and even more sensitive skin. Other dog foods make her stool way too soft and her skin super itchy. Royal Canin German Shepherd Adult dog food remedied both of these issues. Been feeding her it for the last 2 years, but sadly, I'm switching brands because $98 a bag is way too expensive. That's just plain robbery.

17 Feb 2022Best Food for German Shepherds!!
My husband and I started using Royal Canin German Shepherd with our female shepherd, Hera, in 2020. Prior to that, we were on another brand of food. Since being with Royal Canin, her coat, nails, overall body condition is at the best it has ever been! Her teeth have very minimal tarter build up, her stools are consistently normal and for a breed with stomach sensitivities, this food does not cause stomach upset. Anybody who has German Shepherds, we highly recommend this food! This food has everything a well balanced diet should to accommodate the needs of this breed! To date, we have not added any glucosamine or other joint supplements. The kibble size is great, it is appealing and she looks forward to eating her meals. Our new puppy, who is now 5 months old, is currently on Royal Canin German Shepherd Puppy. We could not ask for a better food to best support all of our dogs' needs.
