Giant breed puppies take between 18 to 24 months to reach their expected adult weight of 45 kg+. During this time, their nutritional needs change, which is why Royal Canin has developed two different food varieties to ensure optimum support throughout. Between months 2 and 8, your puppy can enjoy **Royal Canin Giant Puppy**, before switching to this formula – *Royal Canin Giant Junior* – for the remaining development months between 8 and 18/24 months.**Royal Canin Giant Junior** contains tailored protein to support muscle development between months 8 and 18‑24. It also offers nutrients such as vitamins C and E, which can help to support the development of your puppy's immune system. Extra‑large dogs often struggle with sensitive digestive systems, frequently suffering from diarrhoea and flatulence. The combination of beneficial prebiotics (such as FOS, MOS and beet pulp) and highly‑digestible proteins supports balance in the gut microbiome, supporting healthy digestion in the best possible way.**Royal Canin Giant Junior at a glance:**
