Royal Canin 5

Yeah, RC definitly just put a picture of a german shepherd on the bag for marketing. But it's a good thing the food just happens to have added protein and higher calories for the increased demand of working dogs. Also the glucosamine chondroitin must have fell in the batch of food but I don't mind, because my dog's breed is at very high risk for hip displasia. The cross shaped kibbles were probably not designed on purpose to encourage gobblers like my german shepherd to actually chew before he swallows. And they paid so little attention to the sensitive digestive system of my dog that they put in chicken meal and beef pulp (in a patented formula that makes it 95% more digestable and prevents the infamouse dog-diahrea commen with eating a bowl of chicken or turkey or steak).

And for those of you who are experts on dog food and still not conviced that RC dog food is 100 times better than anything remotely close to what people eat, check the recall this week on natural dog food. The preservatives are in most dog foods because of mold issues. If your dog eats moldy food, he's going the shit like a goose no matter what brand it is.

If anyone knows of a food out there that will provide better nutrition, more antioxidents, better protein digestion, more mental focus, better cell repair, cardiac health, and overall energy, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! I spare no expense when it comes to my search K-9, if there is something better out there I'd like to know so he can do his job better, recover faster, and have a longer career.

there are COUNTLESS foods out there with better formulations than what Royal Canin has become, foods WITHOUT excessive fiber like beet pulp and powdered cellulose (two ingredients suspected of promoting bloat in deep chested breeds like GSDs), WITHOUT undigestible soy protein (dogs are carnivores, tofu does nothing for them), and with a much better meat to carb ratio... Royal Canin Maxi German Shepherd 24 only contains ONE meat ingredient in the first ten ingredients listed.

And, for the record, not only am I a food snob, but I am also a lifelong GSD lover and owner, and former working K9 (GSDs and Belgian Malinois) handler. And I wouldn't feed Royal Canin to my GSDs if you PAID me to do so.
