Can my 4-month Rottweiler puppy eat Royal Canin Giant Junior?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am not sure I am reading this right but I will try to clarify what I think you mean. Prince should be fed a large breed puppy food. In the States, giant breed is for mastiffs and Great Danes so large breed is perfect for a Rottweiler. Royal Canin makes excellent puppy and dog food. At 5 weeks he can definitely have puppy food as long as he has teeth. You may need to water down the dry food to make it softer for him to chew. These foods are designed for young puppies until about 1 year of age. It has the proper blend of vitamins and minerals to help his body and organs grow. I would continue to feed the Royal Canin. In the States we call biscuits “treats”, so as long as you mean biscuits is food and not treats you should be all set. I hope this helps. Good luck and kisses to Prince!

Congrats on your new puppy! Rottie puppies should receive a high quality puppy food formulated specifically for large breed dogs. These types of diets contain the appropriate vitamins and minerals (calcium and phosphorus in particular) to ensure that growth occurs at an appropriate rate. The treats you are feeding are fine as long as they are in concert with an appropriately formulated primary diet. If you find that Bones is eating less food or having some sort of dietary upset, you can certainly change to a different type. Just if you do this, make sure it is done over the course of at least one week. This will reduce the likelihood of any significant diarrhea or vomiting during the transition period. Hope this helps!

I personally do not recommend Taste of the Wild due to recent recalls. I like to recommend any food from Royal Canin (in your case I would still feed puppy food Royal Canine Maxi Junior) for large dogs until the younger one is one year old) and then transition to adult food for large dogs. You can also feed dog food from Purina ( puppy food for large dogs) https://petsone.pk/product-category/dog-accessories/dog-food/

It is not a good idea as this food is for giant breeds and specifically formulated to keep them from growing too fast. This will not help your puppy recuperate. Your puppy needs the proper food for either German Shepherd puppies or for large breed puppies.

I would say Joey is a large breed dog based on his mix of breeds. I recommend feeing him a high quality large breed dog food. These foods will have joint support, which is great for bigger dogs. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I hope this helps!

Congratulations on your new baby! I definitely recommend getting him back on his puppy food, since it nutritionally balanced for his growing body. My favorite brands are Science Diet and Royal Canin. Feed the highest quality food you can afford, since this will help prevent illness in the future and save money on vet bills in the long run. The bad news is it sounds like he's training you they way he wants you, the good news is you can correct his behavior. Dogs can go without eating for a few days without any detrimental effects, unlike cats. So, to convince him he needs to eat his food, offer his puppy food in two to three meals a day. Read the directions on the bag or can for guidelines on how much to feed per day and divide that into however many meals you need to. You can offer dry, canned or a combination. It may help him transition if you offer him some canned food with the dry, and/or moisten the dry with some low-sodium chicken broth to entice him to eat. Try to keep him on a regular a schedule as you can. Put his food down in the morning and give him 20 minutes to eat it. If he doesn't eat it, take it up, and put it away for the next meal. Only give him treats for doing something, such as training or going potty outside, and only a few. You don't want to have him rely on treats as a meal. When it's time for the next meal, put his food down, give him 20 minutes. When he gets hungry enough, usually after a day or so, he'll eat. Don't feed him anything off the table either. If he begs and you feel you have to give him something, keep a bowl of his kibble on the table and give him that. Most dogs think it's fantastic because it came off the table from you.

Royal Canin is an excellent quality food! I would feed Ceasar according to package instructions, and that will help him gain weight in a slow and safe manner. You can supplement his diet by giving him hard boiled eggs as a treat once or twice a week (no egg shells), and some boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts a few times a week as a treat.
