My vet says Royal Canin will harm my puppy. Is it safe to feed?

Question

Our doctor is telling to give him N&D giant dog breed biscuits rather than Royal Canin giant starter biscuits. He tells that the dog will not survive if he is given royal canin brand and his liver and kidney will fail at an early age. What should I do? Currently I'm feeding royal canin giant starter biscuits.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am not sure I am reading this right but I will try to clarify what I think you mean. Prince should be fed a large breed puppy food. In the States, giant breed is for mastiffs and Great Danes so large breed is perfect for a Rottweiler. Royal Canin makes excellent puppy and dog food. At 5 weeks he can definitely have puppy food as long as he has teeth. You may need to water down the dry food to make it softer for him to chew. These foods are designed for young puppies until about 1 year of age. It has the proper blend of vitamins and minerals to help his body and organs grow. I would continue to feed the Royal Canin. In the States we call biscuits “treats”, so as long as you mean biscuits is food and not treats you should be all set. I hope this helps. Good luck and kisses to Prince!
