22 Oct 2019Puppies really like this food and grow well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this product from when it was first on the market and have found it excellent for my puppies, I always recommend it to anyone that is planning to have puppies even going so far as to buy some for them to try. My puppies are strong good bone and full of life growing at an excellent rate. I use the puppy mouse too for weaning.

22 Oct 2019Fantastic transition food
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this food for several years to transition my babies from mothers milk to solid food. The food seems to be very palatable and digestible. They never hit sick or have stool issues. This food is fantastic and makes life better for me and my dogs!!

22 Oct 2019Highly recommended!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My AKC breeder recommended continuing feeding this outstanding kibble. It is perfect for my toy poodle. He loves the aroma, taste, size, and ease of digestion. I love how it nourishes him. He also accepts it as a treat during training. It doesn’t get any better than this!

30 Oct 2018It was incredible!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased a shih tzu puppy and the breeder has been feeding him this. Nougat my puppy has loved it. It has made him such a happy puppy and his health is tremendous. Royal Canin is the only food I will ever feed my dog from now on!

20 Oct 2018Amazing!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is amazing!!! All 4 of my Boston Terriers love this! I originally bought this when my female BT was pregnant..... my expectations of this product were not only met, but exceeded! We have been breeding Boston terriers for several years and I had never seen such healthy puppies and mom! The puppies transitioned from mom’s milk with ease and mom continued to maintain a healthy weight. Because of my experience, I let the other BT’s eat the product as well and they loved it! This is the ONLY product I feed my Mother and baby dogs, and I buy at least 1 bag a month to feed my other Bostons to keep their coat/skin and overall health maintained.
