PUPPY NUTRITION: Meets the nutritional needs of extra-large dogs in their second growth stage (after 8 months)

MUSCLE SUPPORT: Adapted protein levels and L-carnitine support muscle development

BONE AND JOINT: An adapted energy intake and balanced mineral content promote healthy bone and joint support

IMMUNE SUPPORT: An exclusive blend of antioxidants and prebiotics aids healthy development of immune systems and digestive health

Your giant puppy is destined for big things—and as they grow, they have big nutritional needs. Giant breed dogs have the longest growth period out of other sized dogs—that’s why Royal Canin growth formulas for giant-sized dogs come in two stages: Giant Puppy and Giant Junior. This Giant Junior dry dog food diet is made specifically for that second stage of growth. At around 8 months, they start to fill out their long and lanky body, developing muscles to support their large frame long into adulthood. What you feed them now sets them up for a healthy, happy life as an adult.

Royal Canin Giant Junior is a nutrient-dense diet formulated for your puppy’s healthy growth: Adapted protein levels and added L-carnitine help build strong muscles. Balanced energy content and precise amounts of calcium and phosphorus support healthy bones and joints. Highly digestible proteins and prebiotics promote healthy digestion and optimal stool quality. Key antioxidants and minerals support developing immune systems to help your dog keep growing strong. Transitioning from Royal Canin Giant Puppy to Giant Junior is easy, because both formulas have an exclusive kibble designed specifically for these growing dogs’ large jaws, so they chew their kibble thoroughly. With the targeted nutrition of Royal Canin, your lovable giant can grow up and live their best, most magnificent life.

Dogs are bizarrely wild for this food!!

I can’t claim anything for outcomes yet; however, my two dogs fought over the this kibble. The littler one just devoured the kibble like he’d been starving for his whole life. I think that’s noteworthy given that the dogs share bones (unless they are extra delicious) without incident. So here is the opposite extreme from the folks who say their dogs don’t like it! Ha! I guess I’ll move the littler dog from Ollie to royal canin too. I moved the larger one to this food because she is having digest trouble with every other high end food I have tried.

Excellent Food for CANE CORSO

In my opinion for Cane Corso (my dog's name Callie) must eat Royal Canin 6 days and 1 day natural meat. This is just my exparices, when we take Caillie she was 2 month and at that time she was natural eater(meat, eaggs, currot e.t.). Slooly-slooly we give dry nutrition other premium brands, after 2 week she eat full week dry nutrition. We never buy 5kg nutrition to test, when dog frequently change nutrition, it's very bad for her immunsystem. We just tooked 3 top premium brands a new pack and test it.(changed by the guideline one nutrition to other). From 5th month Callie eat dry nutrition Royal Canin(6D). Now she's 12 month, very strong, healthy, clever. You can check our funny YouTube channel where she smile and happy :) https://www.youtube.com/@CaneCorsoCALLIE/shorts Note. video with chocolate, - not real chocolate, we made smoozy with canin and homade yogurt ;) It just effective video where people educate each others.

Excellent Food choice for large breed

I adopted a Great Dane mix who was thin and underweight . The vet recommended using Jr Giant and my dog is now healthy with a wonderful shiny coat and has gained 10 lbs

Top quality dog food

We’ve been feeding Royal Canin to our Saint Bernard since he was a puppy. It’s the only brand I can find that offers puppy, junior and adult for the Giant breed. Royal Canin was recommended by our vet and it’s one of the few brands of dog food we trust. We’ve never had any intestinal issues with Royal Canin. Our 7 yr old Rhodesian Ridgeback also eats Royal Canin.
