Hello!
I'm new to this forum but I have one full german shepherd female who is 13 months old at 53lbs. And a male German shepherd chow mix, 2 years old, and 57lbs My female is a bit skinny but very healthy and very energetic. I fed them large breed eukanuba for quite a long time but the closet place I can find it is at our commissary (my husband is military) and they are making the prices higher every time we go and we have to make a drive to go get it. I found a holistic dog food at a local store very close to my house that I want to try but am worried because it isn't "large breed" formula. We do give our dogs joint chew vitamins. I also checked the vitamins in the holistic and it has more glucosamine than the eukanuba. Would changing the food put my dogs at risk for joint problems? They were both rescues so I do not know what runs in their bloodlines. Thank you for reading! Sara

At 13 mths, your GSD can be switched to an adult food instead of a large breed puppy food. I think the adult "large breed" are just a gimmick.
