Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 27 days old | 5.3 lbs
is it a problem if i give my german shepherd puppy royal canin giant starter? normally maxi starter is meant for german shepherds but i am giving him giant starter. the reason is that he has just survived severe anemia and is recovering. so to provide him with more proteins and stuff, im giving the giant starter. they're bigger in size and have more protien(i guess)

It is not a good idea as this food is for giant breeds and specifically formulated to keep them from growing too fast. This will not help your puppy recuperate. Your puppy needs the proper food for either German Shepherd puppies or for large breed puppies.
