Just been looking at Royale canine for german shepherds, cause they can have problems with food blah, blah, blah. Any way would feeding it to a cross dog (3/4's shepherd and a 1/4 Rottie) work. you know rid digestive problems?
Hope that made sense?

IMO, the 'different foods for different breeds' is a gimmick by the company to achieve more sales by taking up more space on the shelves and thereby looking like the 'leading' brand.

You should keep your pup on the same food that the breeder is feeding for the first month or so anyway. Presumably the litter are doing well on the food they are currently being fed and as long as your pup continues to do well on it, there is no need to change at all ;)

IMO its like the small, medium, large & giant breed foods that other manufacturers do.  If you look at the Royal Canine website you'll find that they only have quite a limited seletion of foods which are 'suitable' for different breeds and not as is advertised foods for 'every breed' :)

IMO its worth a try.  Any food, not just what is classed as 'high end food' could end up being the one that suits your dog best :cool:  If the one s/he's on isn't working then there are a lot of dry complete foods out there that are 'easy on the digestive system' which you could try including James Wellbeloved, Burns, Arden Grange, Wafcol, Chappie .  You will need to try the food for about 3 months to see whether or not it will suit your dog fully :)
