My 1-year-old German Shepherd is small. What food helps her grow?

Question

Hello! I was just wondering what the best dog food for a german shepherd would be. Lucy is a year old but is fairly small, so we would like her to grow a bit more. Any reccomendations of dry foods we can give her? Her diet mainly consists of boiled chicken, so we would like to improve on that.

A diet consisting of primarily boiled chicken is not balanced and is lacking in vitamins, fatty acids, fiber and minerals. Proper nutrition, prevention of parasites and disease and genetics are what affects the over-all adult size. She may not get much bigger due to her age (the window of growth closes). I recommend to feed her Royal Canin German Shepherd Puppy until 15 months of age and then switch her to the adult version. German Shepherds can have some unique dietary needs and the diet is formulated specifically for them to address these needs. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
