Excellent Choice!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a Dachshund and Maltese. They have both been on Royal Canin since we got them as Pups. They are in great health with no weight issues. I feel this is largely due to the balanced diet they get from your product

Healthy bits for very special pups

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My pups are 3 and 2 and have only ever eaten Royal canin. They are healty in every aspect and their food is defiantly a major part of them being healthy! I would definitely recommend this line of food for everyone’s furry family friends

The only thing my picky Bulgarian street dog eats!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Per recommendation of vet we tried this and it’s the only dry food my picky little 15lber will eat! We went through countless foods before ...dried chicken pieces, fancy desiccated peas....went through so many premium brands.....thanks royal canin! Keep it up!

Great for weight & coat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My adolescent Havanese often struggle to hold weight. With Mini Special, they do so, and the extra fat makes for wonderful coats.

My Dog will Eat It

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Siberian Husky became a picky eater at about 1 year of age. The day care he attends feeds Gastrointestinal Royal Canin. I tried this and my dog who is currently 2 years + will eat it with no problem

Great for Westin’s!!!

This has been a great food for our Westie. It was recommended by the breeder when we got him. His skin is in good shape and we feed him nothing but this food. I’ve tried to switch him to other feeds with really bad results. I’d gradually try to add another food and he would scratch like crazy not to mention the intestinal issues, but nothing compares to this food. He’s 14 years old now and still going strong!!

Good for digestive issues

My 3 yr old Maltese, Fisher, has always ate Royal Canine n he has had digestive issues w vomiting but I tried other brands and it was worse so a few months ago i seen the Special Royal Canine for digestive issues and give it a try and so far the vomiting has stopped plus he loves it. We also give him some of the beauty can royal canine and when he see it he goes crazy for it. I think he just naturally has bad indigestion issues so I highly recommend the Special for dogs w this health issue instead of giving him a zantac everyday.

It IS For Picky Dogs

My maltese is extremely picky; she won't eat anything that isn't cooked from scratch or small enough. She also does NOT like trying new food (I have wasted so much money buying new food only for her to ignore it.) This is the only kibble she'll eat. Although I'm glad she loves this particular brand, it is a little pricey for me but I don't mind as long as she's happy with it.
