Royal Canin Declares May 8 National Pet Wellness Day with Launch of New Supplements and Probiotics Line

ST. CHARLES, MO. (MAY 6, 2025) – ROYAL CANIN^® U.S., a global leader in pet health nutrition and one of the billion-dollar brands of Mars, Incorporated, took its more than 55 years of pet nutrition expertise to expand its offerings and create a supplements and probiotics line that empowers pet owners to further individualize their pet’s health. To celebrate the launch of this new product line and underscore the importance of tailored health based on each pets’ unique needs, Royal Canin is declaring May 8 as National Pet Wellness Day.

Royal Canin has always prioritized pets when it comes to developing their science-led solutions, and this new product line holds true to that philosophy. The supplements and probiotics are formulated with proven ingredients supported by scientific studies for optimal efficacy, making them the ideal addition to Royal Canin’s already nutritionally balanced diets. The probiotic powders for cats and dogs were specifically designed to promote a strong immune system and digestive health, and the soft chew supplements for puppies and dogs were developed to target the most common sensitivities such as joint, digestion, and skin and coat.

“This innovative range of products is designed to complement our existing diets to support the health and well-being of cats and dogs,” said Heather Pasquale, RPh, general manager of the U.S. Vet Business Unit for Royal Canin North America. “Our supplements are formulated with the same philosophy and scientific rigor that Royal Canin is known for, addressing specific health concerns while maintaining the nutritional balance that is crucial for optimal pet health.”
