Blue Buffalo is what my dog loves and seems to be good for her. Good luck. A vet will always say Iams or something like that but my dog wouldn’t eat it.

I used Hills Science Diet Large Breed Puppy for my dog. He is a show champion and a Hunt Test dog. It kept his coat great, and he grew and filled out well. Now I have him on Purina Pro Plan Performance for the extra protein in the field and weather. Just make sure you don’t use a grain-free diet. Dogs are developing heart disease using grain-free diets. I am a Vet Tech, and we see a lot of it because of the grain-free fad going around.

I fed my working dog Royal Cannin… by the German Shepherd food. He and I were LEO partners for 7.5 yrs. The food served him well. Feed 4 to 5 cups daily from 1 yr old until and if he starts getting chunky….then cut back to 3 to 3.5 cups daily to manage his weight. The kibble is large enough to use as a food reward in training. I would measure his food in 1 gallon zip loc bags….use that bag to ensure he eats only his daily ration. Feeding by hand in training…on the ground to reward tracking or article search… or in his bowl at the end of the day….feed him only his daily ration. This will prevent overfeeding. My boy passed away 3 months ago….he was great at his job and I miss the old boy.

I used Kirkland’s (nakamura Diamond in a different bag) for years, then dropped the Costco membership and went with Diamond Naturals, but recently found Nutrena Loyall Life and have been super pleased.

German Shepherds are super sensitive and allergic. I have found that Victor Hi-Pro Plus food is the best food for me. Diamond works very well, too.

Arden Grange – it takes you from large breed puppy to senior. My GSD is just over 14 & 1/2 and has had it all his life. I moisten it with hot water & let it cool. Sometimes I boil some chicken and use that water. He loves it.

I’ve fed all my dogs since I was a kid, Purina puppy chow, and then Purina dog chow. I’m 58 years old and never had a problem with their stomachs, or anything else!!

We used Taste of the Wild. That’s what the breeder fed their dogs, so we continued. She always had a great coat and very consistent stools. Never even used the puppy formula. The breeder used the adult formula, and its small kibble, so as a puppy she had no problem with it.

I use only Pedigree wet and dry food for my dogs ,I have not heard anything about their food being recalled, like most of them out there, also I cook ground turkey, ground chicken, ground beef and if I have some ground lamb which is good for their coat.Never had any problems with them,
