According to Royal Canin:

Some large breeds are prone to bloat. GERMAN SHEPHERD 24™ is formulated to improve digestion, with a large, cross-shaped kibble that slows the rate of food ingestion.

Our dogs love the formula, regardless of breed. Luna loves the puppy version (also designed as an "X", just a lot smaller than the adult kibble).

There are also food bowls you can get to help slow own their food intake:

It forces them to eat around the "pegs" thus slowing their intake down.
