Perfect Blend for my terrier mix!

Tried this food based on a recommendation from the staff at Petsmart in Peachtree City, GA and that is all we buy. My little guy enjoys the food, coat is growing back and itching stopped. Would not consider feeding him anything else, because I bought 5 bags of snacks, which he refuses to eat, but gobbles RC Mini Special down every time.

Bought this for our 4 1/2 yr. old Pomeranian who has a sensitive stomach & is a very picky eater. He eats it without any problems. I've come to the conclusion that what a dog will eat without any problems is the best dog food for him.

Dog loves it!

Our dog family member is a picky eater, usually only eating other brands when he got really hungry. Now as soon as his food hits the bowl he's eating it all.

My dog loves it!

I have a Chihuahua that has a sensitive stomach and this the only dog food that his stomach can tolerate. I tried many different brands but this is the only one that he doesn't have a problem with.

Special really works

I have been feeding my dogs Royal Canin Mini Special for over eight years. I have a variety of small dogs and they all love this food. They would not eat dry food till I switched to this - now I have no issues. Their coats, skin and eyes are GREAT. Never any issues with their digestive tract. I have recommended this product to many people and they would agree with my review.

My finicky eater loves Mini Special

I use to purchased various dog brands and Royal Canin Mini Special is the only brand my little poodle will eat. I have pre-ordered monthly at my local pet store to make sure I don't run out.

My dogs love it!!

I've been feeding my dogs Royal Canin (I've got seven Cavaliers) ever since one of my dogs had to be taken to the vet because he was having stomach issues. He was a picky eater since he was a puppy, so I kept trying to find a dog food that he liked. My vet recommend Royal Canin because of its high quality. My dog loved it! I will only feed my dogs Royal Canin. It's good food, and they love it! - Regina Roeder
