I loved Royal Canin when I fed it, it is just hard to get where I live now,
because the sled dog folks I bought it from moved to Alaska.
It's the energy (fat) level that accelerates growth, not so much protein levels.
The 32% protein has only 14% fat.
It's the same with Senior diets: high quality higher protein levels to support
immune system, etc. but not high fat levels.

"Up to the age of 15 months, large breed puppies will increase their birth
weight by 70 times. Too much energy from fat can contribute to the
acceleration of muscle and tissue development without corresponding skeletal
growth. This imbalance can lead to potential skeletal problems."

if not more so, a question of the fitness of the leader." Max v Stephanitz
