Taurine, L-carnitine and EPA/DHA — a heart-and-joint formula.
Rottweilers are over-represented for dilated cardiomyopathy and for joint disease, and this food is built around both at once. It carries the highest cardiac support package in the breed range: taurine at 2.5 g/kg, L-carnitine at 830 mg/kg and EPA/DHA at 5 g/kg, with dehydrated tomato for lycopene.
L-carnitine does double duty — it supports cardiac muscle metabolism and helps direct energy towards lean mass rather than fat, which matters on a dog whose joints already carry 50 kg. Glucosamine and chondroitin support hips and elbows, protein at 26% holds the breed's characteristic muscle, and fat at 20% fuels a powerful working frame. For dogs from eighteen months.
Rice, dehydrated poultry protein, animal fats, vegetable protein isolate (L.I.P. — protein selected for its very high digestibility), maize, hydrolysed animal proteins, vegetable fibres, fish oil, beet pulp, soya oil, minerals, dehydrated tomato, hydrolysed yeast (source of manno-oligo-saccharides), hydrolysed crustaceans (source of glucosamine), marigold extract (source of lutein), hydrolysed cartilage (source of chondroitin). Additives (per kg) — Nutritional additives: Vitamin A 28,500 IU · Vitamin D3 800 IU · E1 (Iron) 59 mg · E2 (Iodine) 5.2 mg · E4 (Copper) 14 mg · E5 (Manganese) 66 mg · E6 (Zinc) 138 mg · E8 (Selenium) 0.16 mg · L-carnitine 830 mg. Technological additives: Clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin 10 g. Sensory additives: tea extract (source of polyphenols) 150 mg. Preservatives. Antioxidants.
Store in a cool, dry place, sealed. Use within six weeks; decant the 12 kg. Keep her lean — on a dog this heavy it is the single most useful thing for the joints. Learn the signs of bloat and know your after-hours vet; she is deep-chested and it kills within hours. Mention any coughing, exercise intolerance or fainting to your vet promptly rather than putting it down to age or heat.

A guide, not a rule. Split across two meals, never one. Don't feed within an hour either side of exercise. Fresh water, always.
