FAQs

At what age should I switch my German Shepherd to this food?

You should switch to Royal Canin German Shepherd Adult 5+ when your German Shepherd reaches 5 years of age, as they are considered senior at this point.

Can I mix this food with other foods?

It is generally recommended to feed this food as a complete diet. If you wish to supplement or mix it with other foods, consult your veterinarian to ensure your dog receives balanced nutrition and to avoid digestive upset.

How do I rehydrate the kibble?

To rehydrate, mix the recommended amount of kibble with warm water. Allow it to sit for a few minutes until the kibble softens. Adjust the water amount to achieve your desired consistency.

What are the main benefits for aging German Shepherds?

This food is designed to support aging joints, maintain muscle mass, promote kidney health, and aid digestion, while also providing antioxidants to protect cells.

Is this food suitable for German Shepherds with sensitive stomachs?

Yes, the formula contains specific fibers to support healthy digestion and a balanced intestinal flora, which can be beneficial for dogs with mild digestive sensitivities common in aging breeds.

How does the kibble texture help with dental health?

The texture of the kibble is designed to encourage chewing, which can help mechanically clean the teeth and reduce the buildup of plaque and tartar over time.

Where can I find the feeding guidelines?

Feeding guidelines are typically found on the product packaging and should be adjusted based on your dog's individual needs and activity level.

Troubleshooting

Dog refusing to eat the food

Ensure a gradual transition from the old food. Try rehydrating the kibble with warm water to enhance aroma and palatability. Ensure the food is stored correctly and is fresh. If refusal persists, consult a veterinarian.

Digestive upset (e.g., loose stools) after switching

You may have transitioned too quickly. Revert to the previous food and re-introduce Royal Canin German Shepherd Adult 5+ more slowly over a longer period (10-14 days).

Dog not drinking enough water

Encourage water intake by leaving fresh water accessible at all times. Rehydrating the kibble can also increase fluid intake. If you notice excessive thirst or lack of drinking, consult your veterinarian.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This is a dry kibble food. You can feed it directly or rehydrate it by mixing with warm water. Recommended feeding amounts vary based on your dog's age, activity level, and weight; consult the feeding guide on the packaging. Always ensure a smooth transition from your dog's previous food over a period of 7-10 days to prevent digestive upset.

Care: Store the food in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bag or container is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent moisture.
