What is best puppy and adult food for GSD

[Madelon H]

I have a 12 month old solid black pure breed GSD. He weighs about 90lbs and is gorgeous. After researching dog food I have decided I want to switch him to a high quality food – he’s currently on royal canine GSD puppy. He had trouble with diarrhea as a puppy and when I put him on the royal canin he did better. He’s been tested for the genetic disorder regarding his digestive system (name escapes me now) and doesn’t have it but I still worry about their sensitive stomachs. I’m thinking of blue buffalo grain free for large breed, merrick and wellness core – does it matter if it doesn’t specifically say large breed on the bag or are these foods so good it works for all. I was thinking the large breed formulas would have more nutrients for hips and joints. PLEASE help I’m driving myself crazy with research!

Hi Madelon H, I don’t think it matters if it says ‘large breed’ but I could be wrong. I’ve used Acana a lot with my GSD and that was a great one, too. I’ve been researching for almost 7 years and I feel like my head has exploded 1,000 times. I hope there will be some more opinions here soon!
