Being super intelligent and playful is hungry work, so German Shepherd dog food needs to be packed full of goodness for body and brain. A breed-specific food is a good start. But at tails.com, we don’t think that’s enough. Why? Because no two German Shepherds are the same, so why should their food be?
Read on to learn more about the nutritional needs of these distinguished yet fun-loving dogs, and how here at tails.com we take this knowledge one step further – to create a tailored recipe for your unique German Shepherd friend.
Fuel playtime
If your German Shepherd is anything like the ones we know, they’ll be energetic, playful, and always up for a runabout. That means they need plenty of calories – but no more than they burn off, or they’ll store the extra as fat.
This fine balance is why it’s so important to match your dog’s menu to the nutrients they need. Tailor-made food means going beyond what’s recommended for German Shepherds in general, and meeting the needs of your adorably individual dog. That’s exactly what we do at tails.com – tell us how much exercise your dog gets, and we’ll balance the energy in their food to match. All from high-quality, nutritionally rich ingredients that taste great.
Build strong bones
Calcium and phosphorus encourage strong, steady bone growth and development – something that’s extra important for big dogs like German Shepherds. A German Shepherd diet needs to include a healthy balance of both which changes as your dog grows. For tails.com dogs, that’s all taken care of. Because we expertly blend each dog’s food so it’s just right for their age and activity level, throughout every stage of their life.
Support healthy joints
Joint support is important for all dogs, but even more important for active German Shepherds. Tick the joint support option when you’re building your dog’s nutrition profile, and we can add supplements like glucosamine and chondroitin to their recipe. Omega-3 is another joint-friendly favourite, proven to help reduce inflammation caused by diseases like arthritis. If your German Shepherd needs support for a particular joint issue – like hip, spine or elbow problems, we can help. Get in touch at hello@tails.com. Our nutrition and vet team will be happy to give you some expert, individual advice.
Nourish skin and coat
Omega-3 and 6 help keep your German Shepherd’s coat glossy and oh-so cuddly. These fatty acids keep their skin healthy too – and prevent dry or itchy patches that can cause discomfort and scratching, so your dog always looks and feels their majestic best. If your German Shepherd’s skin troubles are related to a food allergy, you can ask us to leave out the ingredients that are causing their reaction. Choose something specific, or go fully hypoallergenic. Either way, a few clicks in your dog’s nutrition profile and it’s done!
