Dog likes it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog likes it - easy to chew. I sometimes mix a little bit of wet food with it to change it up for him.

Best for my girls.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a set of mother & daughter chihuahuas. The mother 13 and her daughter is 8. This food keeps both of them happy, healthy, and going. Perfect kibble size for their poor aching mouths.

Great food!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been being Royal Canine since the first day of getting my pup. He's 9 yrs old now. Never changed his food brand. I love it and Max loves it. Only have changed kibble size and age specific kind over yrs. He never had a problem adjusting. Wouldn't use anything else. Very confident this food has kept him healthy and at a good weight through the years!

Finally!

I tried this about a month ago on an elderly Papillon that I rescued a year ago. She had to have all of her teeth extracted but still prefers hard kibble over canned or softened kibble. She's a very finicky eater and has a sensitive stomach. Much to my joy, she Loves this food! Haven't had one issue in getting her to eat it everyday, plus her coat and energy levels are improving daily! Thank you!!!!

Great transition food.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been feeding my dogs Royal Canin for Chihuhuas for ten years now. I switched them recently to the x-small mature dog food. My only complaint is that it doesn't come in a larger bag, making it more cost-effective.
