A longer colonic transit time, plus increased colonic permeability in large breed dogs can lead to more fermentation and poor stool quality. GERMAN SHEPHERD Adult contributes to supporting this breed’s sensitive digestive system with highly digestible proteins (LIPs*), prebiotic support (MOS**) and a specific fibre blend to limit intestinal fermentation and to help maintain a balanced intestinal flora.

The German Shepherd has alkaline skin which increases the risk of skin infections and a thick, double coat. Targeted nutrition is important for maintaining a healthy skin and coat. The GERMAN SHEPHERD Adult formula helps strengthen the skin barrier and supports skin regeneration with an exclusive complex of nutrients including PINCH, omega 3s (EPA and DHA), omega 6s, vitamin A, biotin, and high quality protein.

The German Shepherd is susceptible to hip dysplasia, and can have an active lifestyle that leads to hard working joints. The GERMAN SHEPHERD Adult formula nutritionally supports the German Shepherd’s bones and joints with an appropriate mineral balance (calcium and phosphorus), glucosamine, chondroitin and omega 3s (EPA and DHA) to supply the building blocks for joint regeneration and help reduce inflammation.

Amazing Transformation.

My 4yo girl Quinn went to the vet Thursday for a vaccine and nail trim (she will only let Dr. Mcfarland trim her nails; she needs sedated if anyone else. If he does it, she stand there like a love struck teenager). When he came in, I immediately asked him about her weight. She was looking a bit slim to me. She plays with her (not blood related) sister Remi nonstop. The vet called Quinn “a bit lean”. He said to up her calorie intake. My dumb self didn’t ask about how to do that. I know you normally would give an extra feeding. Welllllll… in this household you can’t feed one without the other and Remi does not need an extra feeding. I started googling for a topper or something I could mix with Quinn’s food for weight gain. This food a review stated it helped their picky GSD not only eat but also gain much needed weight in a short amount of time. Quinn just needs to gain about 5-10lbs. It is not all that cheap but the reviews were excellent. Quinn is 3/4 GSD. Y’all… I got it for her Thursday night. I fed her our regular dog food that night and topped it off with one very big basic spoonful. The can lasts about 3 days. Quinn went from a kinda sucked in U looking dip between her rib cage and hips… to now a filled in kinda backwards parentheses. The dip is much more subtle. This was started Thursday night; it’s now Monday night. The point of this long message, I just want to say if your dog needs extra calories and you don’t want to completely switch foods or if you’re on RC; I highly recommend Royal Canin wet food… especially the breed specific kind. This is totally worth the money and I am blown away at the night and day difference in less than 5 full days.

Serena can eat this!

Serena has megaesophagus and has difficulty with some foods. She is able to eat this product without any problems an she likes it too. Serena is not a german shepherd but because of her medical condition she gets to eat what she can tolerate and likes.

Excellent food

I began feeding this canned food to my female a few months ago and am very happy with it. Improved digestion, coat quality, and she loves the taste. I am happy for the peace of mind that comes with feeding a fully researched, balanced diet. Thank you Royal Canin!
