Duke loves the taste!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this food after a suggestion from a friend. I have a large breed puppy and I worry about bloat. Duke loves the taste and we have had no tummy problems!

The only food that worked!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are so thankful we found this food! We tried 4 other brands that just wouldn’t stop our Golden’s diarrhea. This has stopped it and kept it away for the last month!!!

Only food to stop our Sheepadoodle's diarrhea!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic food for a puppy diagnosed with Gastroenteritis! Our 5 month old Sheepadoodle had horrible GI problems and this food worked amazing! He loves the taste and had no problem switching food. I do wish it was available in a larger bag as he is 60 pounds and this 8.8lb bag does not last long. The kibble size it very small, he will inhale it and then choke, so we put 2 small tennis balls in with the food to help slow him down. Thank you Royal Canin, you have been a life saver!!

Great choice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My vet gave me this for my 10 month old puppy who is experiencing hives and vomiting . She is a picky eater and would not eat until late afternoon and than late evening if at all , now she eats his morning and evening and licks the bowl ckeamB! No more upset tummy or hives , just wish it was made to be able to get without vet prescription at the pet store.

Disappointed

Really unclear feeding instructions on the bag. No help on this website. Helpline shut. Vets shut. Can’t find the answe on the Internet. Poor puppy!
