Description

Royal Canin GIANT Junior Dry Dog Food – the perfect nutrition solution for giant breed puppies aged between 8 to 18/24 months, weighing over 100 lbs.

We understand that growing puppies have special nutritional needs that must be met for their healthy development, which is why our GIANT Junior formula is carefully crafted to address their unique requirements.

With prebiotics (MOS and FOS*) and an optimal fiber balance, our formula helps support improved digestive health and promote a healthy gut microflora population, preventing digestive issues and loose stool. Additionally, the low indigestible proteins (LIPs) contribute to an optimal stool quality.

During the 3rd growth phase, muscle development is critical, and our adapted protein levels, glucosamine, chondroitin, L-carnitine, and other key nutrients work together to promote the development of strong muscles and sturdy joints.

Giant breed dogs put extreme stress on their sensitive joints, which is why our formula also includes an adapted calcium and phosphorus content, glucosamine, chondroitin, and anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA to promote healthy skeletal development and help protect fragile joints, limit inflammation, and prevent arthritis.

We also understand that during this critical growth phase, your puppy's immune system is vulnerable, which is why we formulated our formula with a specialized complex of antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, lutein, and taurine, which help to neutralize free radicals and support the development of their natural defenses.

Choose GIANT Junior Dry Dog Food for your giant breed puppy, and provide them with the essential nutrition they need to grow up healthy and strong.

Product Benefits

DIGESTIVE HEALTH
Growing dogs have developing digestive systems which are prone to digestive issues including loose stool. GIANT Junior helps support improved digestive health through prebiotics (MOS and FOS*) and an optimal fibre balance to help promote a healthy beneficial gut microflora population. Low Indigestible Proteins (LIPs) also help contribute to an optimal stool quality.

3rd GROWTH PHASE: MUSCLE DEVELOPMENT
The growth phase of giant breed puppies lasts for up to two years, and it is critical that they receive the nutrients they require in the appropriate amounts to ensure optimal development. GIANT Junior promotes the development of strong muscles and sturdy joints through adapted protein levels, glucosamine, chondroitin, L-carnitine, and other key nutrients.

BONE & JOINT HEALTH
Giant breed dogs put extreme stress on sensitive joints, making them more prone to inflammation and arthritis. GIANT Junior promotes healthy skeletal development in giant breed puppies, with an adapted calcium and phosphorus content, and the addition of glucosamine and chondroitin, along with anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA help joints grow strong, to help protect fragile joints and limit inflammation.

NATURAL DEFENSES
During the critical growth phase, the puppy’s immune system is vulnerable. GIANT Junior is formulated with a specialized complex of antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, lutein and taurine, which help to neutralize free radicals and support the development of the puppy’s immune defenses.
