What dry kibble is best for my large GSD and medium puppies switching from raw?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

HI Thank you for the last reply. Which type of dry kibble would you recommend for a giant GSD puppy and a belgium x kelpie medium size who is 10 mths . They have been on raw food but swapping to kibble as you and my vet has suggested. My vet says that grains are not a problem for most breeds .

I recommend a large breed puppy food for your GSD puppy, and a medium breed puppy food for the 10 month old puppy. I can understand it may be a pain to have two separate foods, but large breed puppies have different nutritional needs due to their size. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I feed my own dogs Iams, and they love it. Good on you for taking them off the raw food diet! Best of luck.
