Never heard of it, but it looks like a waste of money. What is it... whey protein for dogs?

If you're worried about protein, feed a kibble with more protein. No need to supplement a healthy dog.

How old is your dog? I noticed there's calcium in the stuff. If he's a puppy, you do not want to give extra calcium. It's really not good for their growth.

She'll be a year in February I'm gonna start feeding her Evo Red Meat Formula I don't want her looking like a huge body building dog or anything I just want her to pack on some lean muscle that's noticeable I want to start taking her on 2mile runs and she pants alot when I walk her a couple of blocks I feel like she's tired or maybe it's cause she pulls on her harness alot but I want to try bully max if it helps on runs

If she's not even a year old... forget that stuff. Really, forget it if she was 5 years old, but definitely not for a puppy. It looks like useless junk.

Feed a good quality diet and exercise the puppy/dog appropriately. That will give the dog good muscle tone, but remember, they're GSD's not pits. It's a different kind of muscle tone. You're not going to see as much of it because of the thicker coat.

Now a one year old really shouldn't be getting overly exhausted running a mile or two let alone a walk around the block. That should be pretty easy for a dog that age. Does she have any medical issues? Pano? The panting may be a sign of pain, not exhaustion.

Thanks for the info but I think she exhausts herself cause she has a habit of pulling on the leash too hard so her chokes herself

Could be it too. I'm not really a fan of those harness collars... it's almost like an invitation for an untrained dog to pull.

Have you ever tried a prong collar? That should help with the pulling.

Having muscle mass that is noticeable largely is genetic. My 3yo female is VERY muscular, she has noticeable, visable muscles in her shoulders and hind legs. Trying to feed muscles into them is foolish and a waste of money. Genetics and exercise is the way to a muscular dog. And most GSDs don't have the genetics.
