Description

Giant breed puppies have the longest and most critical growth period of any dogs. During the first phase (2–8 months), rapid skeletal development must be supported without encouraging excess weight gain that can cause lasting bone and joint damage in dogs destined to exceed 45 kg.

Royal Canin Giant Puppy provides controlled energy density and a precisely calibrated calcium-phosphorus ratio for healthy skeletal development. DHA supports cognitive development, which is especially important for very large breed puppies that need reliable training and socialisation from an early age.

The scientifically proven antioxidant complex (vitamins E and C) supports immune health during the immunity gap, while prebiotics (MOS) and digestible proteins establish a healthy gut microbiome from the start. From 8 months, transition to Giant Junior for the second growth phase.

Benefits

Strong immune system: Supports the development of the puppy's healthy immune system with the inclusion of a scientifically proven complex, including vitamins E and C.
Brain development: Enriched with an omega-3 fatty acid (DHA) which is scientifically proven to support the puppy's brain development and promote learning during early puppy training.
Microbiome support: Combination of prebiotics (MOS) & highly digestible proteins to help promote a healthy balance of intestinal microbiota for digestive health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age range is Giant Puppy for?

Royal Canin Giant Puppy covers the first growth phase from 2 to 8 months for giant breed puppies with an expected adult weight over 45 kg. This is followed by Giant Junior from 8 to 18/24 months.

Why is there a separate Junior phase for giant breeds?

Giant breeds grow in two distinct phases:

The first phase, 2–8 months, focuses on skeletal development.
The second phase, 8–18/24 months, shifts to muscle building and body filling.

Each phase requires different nutritional emphasis.

Can I skip the Junior and go straight to Adult?

No, this is not recommended.

Giant breed puppies have very specific growth requirements, and the Junior formula provides the adapted protein for muscle development and continued joint support needed in the 8–18/24 month phase.

What sizes are available?

Royal Canin Giant Puppy is available in 3.5 kg and 15 kg bags.
