I'm currently working with a police k-9(2 yr old shep)--before this brand my k-9 had trouble with his digestive system-his stool would be soft all the time--we tried low diet, low fat, different brands--nothing seem to work.
A friend who own a retired k-9 recommended Royal Canin dog food. after a month.. WOW what a difference....gaining weight, his fur more manageable(Less hair in the patrol car), has more energy and no more soft stool.
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!ROYAL CANIN-- THEY SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING....THEY KNOW WHAT ANIMALS NEED IN THEIR SYSTEM.. AND I'M PROOF OF IT........
try it!!!
lov my k-9 partner:)
I would recommend this to a friend!

My groomer says my shepherd has not looked better. The large chunks make it easy for me to also use as a treat for both my pit bull and shepherd and they love it. I have tried several brands of food and this one seems to be the best.

Food had a smell

This package delivered had a very strong fishy kind of smell which we know is not the case whenever we have bought it locally. Not sure if this food was stale that the smell was present. or because it was kept in the sun during delivery?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have a 4yr old silver sable gsd
-She finally started eating dogfood, she hates other brands and doesnt like to eat beneful/pedigree all that messed up food.
-the kibble was in big unique shape pieces
-and she had less poo (which is great because i hate her pooping in front of people)
-After 4 days i saw a dramatic improvement in skin and coat!
she had a bald spot on her back and her butt was loosing fur but after eating this it was shiny and a bit thicker! She was beautifull. If you have a gsd buy this food!!! they know what theyre doing its over-all GREAT!

Great for Sensitive Tummies

We picked up our German Shepherd puppy at 4 months old. He came to us with soft stool. The vet recommended Purina Pro. We settled on Purina One. He went from soft stool to constant diarrhea. We were beginning to worry and I was sick of googling "diarrhea". Thankfully I found this brand and read that it was for sensitive stomachs. We went ahead and skipped the puppy food since I didn't want to have to change him again down the road. After a few days of chicken and rice we introduced this food a little at a time. We noticed an immediate improvement. What a relief!!! We use this for treats also since his tummy is so sensitive. He loves it! I would recommend this if your GSD is having tummy troubles.

My 5 yr old GSD has always been a picky eater and getting her to eat any food other than treats has been a chore. I was looking for a reputable brand that also had large kibbles and saw this one, read the reviews (which were all positive), so I decided to try it. She loves it! She's now been eating it for about a month and I don't have to encourage/urge her to eat - she doesn't even lift her head from the bowl now. I know GSD's can be finicky so I highly recommend this food if you're having the same issues with your dog. I had also read someone's comment about it causing less feces and that's also true. A lot of times she was going twice a day but now she's only going once. Supposedly it's because more of the nutrients are getting absorbed so it creates less waste. If you have a GSD - buy this food!

Royal Canin & Petco

Royal Canin seems to solve all gastro issues with my 70lb female 7.5yr GSD. I've had her for 2.5-3 years now. She was a rescue. It was a very messy beginning, but when I put her on RC everything turned okay. I've thought about switching food, but usually run into issues and I end up going back to RC.
Ordering from Petco online is cheaper than going to the Petco store. So it saves me time and money and gas by online ordering.

It was wonderful to not have to go into the store to purchase the dog food; it is very heavy, time consuming, and with the price of gas having it placed right at my door step is a plus, plus. I did not have to pay for shipping and the price was cheaper than going into the store. Thank You PETCO!!

My doctor recommended Royal Canin for my Shepard mix because she was having problems with her digestive system, and wasn't eating the other premium dog food I was giving her.
It has been two years now, and no one believes that she will be 13yrs old. She loves the food, and for her age, she has more energy than expected. This is great dog food, and I will never change!

This dog food was recommended by our vet and it has worked wonders on our 9 year old German Shepherd. She is very trim and fit now!! She use to have a problem with loose bowels but her poppies are solid and smaller since she has been on this food. Having the free delivery from Petco.com was wonderful!

Did not have good luck with this food

Unfortunately, I did not have the good luck with this food that everyone else did. I have a 4 month old GSD puppy with a sensitive stomach. As long as I cook home cooked meals, he does fine. But I haven't been able to find a commercial dog food he can eat that doesn't give him the uncontrollable runs. I had high hopes for this food after reading all the positive reviews, but was woken up again in the wee hours of the morning, with my puppy whining to go outside, and then he had the terrible runs again! Smell of dog kibble was good. Dog seemed to enjoy eating. I didn't like the GIANT size of kibble which he chewed a few, but he gulped most of them down whole! Will be returning the unused portion for a refund. Back to the drawing board!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used the german Shepherd Royal Canine Food for several years and am very satisfied with it. When I got the email with a percent off and free shipping online I ordered the product on line. The only disappointment that I had regarding the order was that Pals coupons for ordering was not granted. The dog food ended up costing me the same as if I had purchased it in the local store but without the Pals coupons. I will continue to use this food and Petco, but will buy the product in the local store

My German Shepherd is 9 yrs old. He has always been a picky eater, but loves the Royal Canin. The only food we have fed him since he was 2 yrs. old. People are always surprised he is 9 as he looks no older than 5 yrs and often acts like a 3 yrs old dog. We have never had to worry about weight management with this food either.
Great product. Would never switch to anything different even for lower cost!

My german shepherd Marcus has been on German Shepherd 24 for almost three years now. He is doing excellent on it! He used to have loose stools but within one time of eating Royal Canin his stools firmed up! Also has a good source of glucosamine, chondroitin and fish oil for his joints!
