Royal Canin

German Shepherd Puppy

DogDry

Chicken by-product meal leads this dry food for German Shepherd puppies from 8 weeks to 15 months, with corn and wheat gluten behind it. It's 28% protein (about 31% with the water out) and 331 calories a cup, and Royal Canin says it meets AAFCO's growth profile, including large dogs (70 lb or more as adults).

Nutrition

Labels print these numbers with the water still in, which makes a can look weak next to a bag. The dry-matter column takes the water out, so the two compare fairly.

Manufacturer values are the label guaranteed analysis (minimums for protein and fat, maximums for fiber and moisture), not a typical analysis. Dry-matter figures are PawFYI estimates calculated from the moisture value. Ash assumed 6% (dry food, not published). Carbohydrate calculated by difference from the label values.

Where to buy

Store links go to each retailer’s own product page. PawFYI isn’t paid for them, and a store never changes the numbers. If that changes, anything paid will be labeled “Sponsored”. How we make money
