- In 2007 Royal Canin broke new ground, with the launch
of Great Dane 27*, dedicated to a second giant
breed, as a response to particular needs justifying a targeted
ration and formula.
With Rottweiler 26, Royal Canin takes the next step in
a process oriented to thoroughly examining and responding
to the needs of different breeds.
Rottweilers are accomplished athletes that have become
the world’s most sought-after protector of property and
people alike. This global expansion has highlighted the
strengths, but also the weaknesses, of this emblematic
breed. Famed for its strength and robustness – the male
generally weighs more than 110 lbs (50 kg) – a
Rottweiler subjects its joints to heavy mechanical strain,
either during competition (ring, RCI, agility) or simply
when walking with its owner. It is accordingly essential to treat its skeleton with
care, especially the hips and elbows. The heart of such a Goliath must also
be monitored closely.
Our network of breeders has provided the Royal Canin Research Centre with
valuable information. Rottweiler 26 is the result of their combined efforts.
Just like millions of enthusiasts across the globe, we are impressed by the
Rottweiler, a dog that demands respect owing to the force of its personality.
Thank you for sharing this passion with us.
