ROYAL CANIN CROWN PARTNER

A Royal Canin Crown Partner Breeder

Royal Canin does not accept every breeder into the Crown Partner program. It is an invitation-only partnership reserved for breeders who meet their standards for quality, care, and long-term commitment to the dogs they produce.

Arizona Schnauzers is a Royal Canin Crown Partner. That designation shapes how we feed, how we educate, and how we support your puppy for the life of your dog.

Why Nutrition Is Part of Our Program

A Giant Schnauzer is not a dog you can feed casually. The breed grows slowly and deliberately reaching full maturity at 18 to 24 months. That long growth window is precisely when joint development, bone density, and structural integrity are established. Nutrition during this period is not optional. It is foundational.

We feed Royal Canin exclusively in our program because it is the only brand formulated specifically for breed size, life stage, and genetic predispositions. For a Giant Schnauzer, that means Royal Canin Large Puppy from weaning through 15 to 18 months, transitioning to Large Adult as they mature. This is not a preference. It is the nutrition protocol built into our program.

What Every Family Receives

When your puppy joins your family, they arrive with a complete nutrition foundation already in place:

A Royal Canin Starter Kit containing a breed appropriate dry food sample, a Starter Mousse canned food sample, a Puppy Care Guide, a branded tote, and a measuring cup calibrated to Royal Canin's feeding recommendations.

A 35% discount on your first Royal Canin order, applied automatically to your account.

A Royal Canin account pre-linked to our breeder program, giving you direct access to breeder-level support, ongoing feeding recommendations, and Royal Canin's Auto-Ship program which saves 5% on every order with free shipping and no minimums.

Direct access to Royal Canin's Nutrition Advisor line, a team of veterinary nutritionists available to answer any feeding question as your puppy grows.

A structured transition plan from puppy formula to adult formula at the appropriate developmental window  no guesswork, no brand switching, no nutritional gaps during the most critical growth years.

Why This Matters Beyond Pickup Day

Most breeders hand over a puppy with a bag of whatever food happens to be on hand. The new owner is left to figure out nutrition on their own, often switching foods multiple times in the first year based on pet store recommendations or social media advice. This instability is one of the most common causes of digestive issues, growth inconsistencies, and long term health problems in large-breed dogs.

Our program eliminates that uncertainty. Because we are a Royal Canin Crown Partner, your puppy's nutrition plan is built directly with Royal Canin's veterinary nutritionists. You are not guessing. You are following a protocol developed for exactly this breed, at exactly this life stage, backed by one of the most research driven nutrition companies in the world.

And because your account stays connected to our program, we remain part of your dog's nutrition journey for life not just the first eight weeks.

The Standard We Hold

Being a Royal Canin Crown Partner is not a marketing badge. It is an operational commitment. It means we feed the same food we recommend. It means every puppy raised in our program is started on the nutrition we believe in. It means when you ask us what to feed your dog, the answer is not a preference it is a plan.

This is one of the many ways Arizona Schnauzers operates as a program, not a transaction.
