Royal Canin Rottweiler Puppy Dry Dog Food

The Rottweiler's 18-month growth period is the longest of any breed in the Royal Canin range, reflecting the time needed to build one of the most powerful frames in the canine world. Royal Canin Rottweiler Puppy provides the sustained nutritional support this extended development demands, with adapted protein and L-carnitine for lean muscle mass and calibrated calcium and phosphorus for the massive skeletal structure.

L-carnitine plays a specific role in helping the Rottweiler puppy develop lean muscle rather than excess body fat. The breed's powerful physique is built on muscle, and establishing lean body condition during the growth phase sets the foundation for a healthier adult. Excess weight during growth places unnecessary stress on developing bones and joints that must later carry one of the heaviest breed frames.

Digestive health is supported through L.I.P. proteins and prebiotics (FOS). Large breed puppies consume substantial volumes of food, and digestive efficiency determines how much of that intake is actually absorbed and used for development versus passing through. Highly digestible proteins reduce the workload on the digestive system while maximising nutrient extraction.

The immune system receives extended support through antioxidants including vitamin E throughout the 18-month growth period. This is a longer window of immune vulnerability than most breeds, making sustained nutritional immune support particularly relevant.

Available in a 12 kg bag. Transition to Royal Canin Rottweiler Adult at 18 months over 7 days.

• Immune system support: Growth is an essential stage in your dog's life: it is the time of big changes, discoveries and new encounters. During this key period, the puppy's immune system develops gradually. ROTTWEILER PUPPY helps support your puppy's natural defences thanks particularly to a complex of antioxidants including vitamin E.
• Muscle & bone development: Helps support muscle and bone development thanks to an adapted protein content and adequate levels of calcium and phosphorus. This formula also contains L-carnitine.
• Digestive health: Combination of nutrients with high quality protein (L.I.P.*) and prebiotics (FOS) to support digestive health and balance of intestinal flora, which contributes to good stool quality. Protein selected for its very high digestibility.

Why does my Rottweiler puppy need food until 18 months?

The Rottweiler has the longest growth period of any breed in the Royal Canin range, and it needs puppy food until 18 months to support that development. Building the breed's massive skeletal structure and powerful musculature takes 18 months, and switching to adult food too early can compromise this foundation.

How does L-carnitine help my Rottweiler puppy?

L-carnitine supports fat metabolism, helping your puppy use dietary fat for energy instead of storing it as body fat. This helps promote lean muscle mass, which is the foundation of the Rottweiler's powerful physique.

My Rottweiler puppy seems to eat a lot. Is this normal?

Yes, large breed puppies need substantial food volumes to fuel their extended growth. Follow the feeding guide precisely and monitor body condition regularly.

• Feed according to the recommended guide
• Check body condition regularly
• Ensure steady growth without excess weight gain
