My dogs eats it up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My vet told us that my rescue dog was "portly." We love our dog more than anything and put her on a diet! Now she is happy and healthy and we are so relieved that our beautiful dog is no longer portly!!

Happy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 2 Golden Retrievers are on the weight Control. My big guy was able to lose 20 lbs! I didn’t think he needed to lose weight but he’s healthy and happy without that weight. My girl has somehow managed to gain weight or this would be a 5 star. Another bonus- they both love the food! Before I found Royal Canin I would have to sneak a little something into the food to get my girl to eat.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switched my golden lab mix to this after issues with grain free products from other companies and she is doing great and keeping her weight at ideal number. She is my service dog so she needs to be fit and healthy.

They love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got prescription for my dogs and I thought they would hate it as they dont like any dry food. They loved it and both of them are losing some weight and getting healthy. Thanks a lot!!!

Fabulous Product

I use this for my husky who has severe hip dysplasia. Not only does help her maintain a healthy lean weight but it has all the vitamins needed for her hips and joint support. She absolutely loves this food and the quality for the price is hard to beat!

Great dog food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two dogs, a 6 year old lab and a 5 year old German Shepard. We switched to royal canin a couple of years ago because I was looking for a better brand to feed them instead of what I was feeding them before (blue buffalo) and also my lab had stopped wanting to eat the other food, which was unlike her. So after some research I switched to Royal Canin Large Breed dog food. Both my dogs loved it and I loved the ingredients. Now that they have aged a bit, they both need the weight management food to keep their weight in a healthy range. I have never had any issues with Royal Canin, it has always came fresh, and my dogs have always loved it.

Feeding with Confidence

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been feeding my 12 year old Labrador this food for a couple years. I require a food that addresses his particular needs, which include weight management; joint support; skin support; and eating too quickly. RC Weight Control Large Breed does all that. His weight is stable without increasing the fiber, and subsequent output. The nuggets are shaped to encourage chewing, slowing his eating and reducing the chance of regurgitation. I know the nutrition is complete with Royal Canin so nutritional supplements are unnecessary. Great overall food for my pet.
