Hoochie Mama Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 My german shepherd pup is currently on Royal Canin GSD Junior... Is this better for him (being 'breed specific') than something like Eagle Pack 'Large and Giant Breed Puppy'? (I'm not really down with what ingredients do what) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witheverythingiam Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Well... What's best for your dog is what it does best on... Is your dog happily munching it's way thru his bikkies? Is he sufficiently putting weight on? Ingredients wise, Nutro might be a better choice - perhaps you should ask your puppy? -WithEverythingIAm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShesaLikeableBiBear Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 GSD Lover To start with look at the first few ingredients of the dry kibbles. e.g. one of the Hills Science Diet's formulas: Ground Whole Grain Corn, Chicken By-Product Meal, Corn Gluten Meal. against one of Nutro Natural Choice formulas: Chicken Meal, Ground Rice, Corn Gluten Meal. We avoid ingredients such as corn, wheat and maize. Many dogs simply cant tolerate corn and many are allergic to wheat, as humans can be celiacs, so can dogs. We then also avoid chemical preservatives and added colourants. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 Paws Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I had one of my gsd on hills science diet when she was a puppy but she never seemed to look overly good.I have since discovered Nutro Lg breed lamb and rice and they look wondefull now,big difference in the condition of there coat now. I'm sure Nutro have a lg breed puppy formula as well.I'd recommend getting a lg breed formula whatever choice you make. I think i've read that the breed specific german shepherd formula is designed to help with skin conditions that the breed can be prone to but if you're dog seems ok i'm sure just a lg breed formula would be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
