Royal Canin Giant Junior Dry Dog Food

Giant dogs take around 18-24 months to reach their adult weight of 45+ kg. During this time, their nutritional needs evolve, so we have developed two diets: Royal Canin Giant Puppy, to be given between 2 and 8 months, and this formula – Royal Canin Giant Junior – for the period of 8 to 18/24 months.

During your giant-breed dog’s young years, they need extra time to develop their muscles and bone structure compared to smaller breeds. This means they require lots of protein and tailored amounts of calcium and calories. It’s important that junior giant-breed dogs remain at a healthy weight to reduce the risk of osteoarticular and chronic inflammatory problems.

Royal Canin Giant Junior contains an adapted protein content to help support muscle development from 8 to 18/24 months old.

It also contains nutrients such as Vitamin C and E, which are proven to support the development of the puppy's healthy immune system Extra-large dogs have sensitive digestive systems and can be prone to diarrhoea and flatulence. A combination of beneficial prebiotics (such as FOS, MOS and beet pulp) and highly digestible proteins, helps to support a healthy balance of intestinal microbiota (gut flora) for good digestion.

Additionally, the formula has precise levels of minerals, including calcium and phosphorus, to promote the development of strong, rapidly growing bones.

The kibble in Royal Canin Giant Junior has also been designed to encourage a slower speed of ingestion. This is important, as giant-breed dogs should eat slowly to reduce their risk of gastric torsion.

By the time your giant-breed junior dog reaches 18/24 months old, they will need a diet that’s specially adapted to meet their nutritional needs as an adult dog. At this stage, you can transition them onto Royal Canin Giant Adult.
