Health dogs

Royal Canin is the best dog food I have ever fed my dogs! I have been feeding it for over 10 years and have had wonderful outcomes even with dogs who required a special needs diet. I highly recommend it.

Best food EVER!!!

Our rescue has fed Small Adult since 2005 and we have NEVER had a dog that did not love it! The product has been consistent in kibble size, taste, and formula. We send a small sample home with adoptions and get great feedback that owners have now switched to RC! THANK YOU for making Royal Canin Small Adult Dry available for the THOUSANDS of dogs which have come thru our rescue!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using Royal Canin for 3 years now. I've rescued 2 Shih Tzus and Royal Canin made such a huge difference in my dogs´ digestion. They are so happy and I am so grateful that I don't think I could switch ever.
