Only thing my dog will eat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the only dog food my Havanese will eat. We have tried several others. He is a Royal Canin pup! He's a spoiled little boy and he knows it. It does well with his tummy. We reccomend it to everyone we know. RC is an old food that had a lot of history and science behind it.

Great for elderly hard keeper.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this food around 6 years ago for my now elderly dog. She’s always been a hard keeper. She’s picky about food and doesn’t maintain weight easily. I originally chose this food due to the higher calorie content. (Which is difficult to find.) I was pleasantly surprised that she liked the food and continued to eat it for years since. It’s a great food. Plenty of calories to help put on the pounds. Her overall health is great, no vet bills due to poor health or food related illness. I will continue to feed this to my dog for the remainder of her life.

Life saver!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Lhasa Apso, Holly, has been eating this food since she was a puppy. She is 14-1/2 years old now. This is the only food she can eat without getting sick. Everything else is no sooner swallowed and it is coming back up. I tried all kinds of food from all of the different brands. This was the only kind she liked and that stayed down. This food saved her life and I am extremely grateful. She has been extremely healthy ever since. Her "brother", a Shih Tzu named Toby, was eating a different brand when we got him as a puppy. After discovering her food, he refused to eat his own. He has been eating this since he was a puppy. He is now 6-1/2 years old. Toby is on the left (black/white) and Holly is on the right.

Great Food for 11 years!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our 11 year old Havanese has eaten this since she was a pup. She has a very sensitive stomach as some "treats" cause issues. She is gorgeous and healthy. Will not feed her anything else!

Ingredient Change - Not The Same - DO NOT BUY

My dog will no longer eat this brand after the change. Very disappointing.

It's not the same as Mini Special

I bought this food with this new packaging and the attendant told me that was the same food as Mini Special, but It seems that is not because my dog got really sick since she started to eat this food. I don't know what to do now, because she used to eat the Mini special before and she was really good and happy, but now she can't stand eating this food she gets really bad and I'm so worried about her. Please tell me Royal Canin this is exactly the same one? because even one ingredient if changed can cause serious effects in dogs with a sensitive stomach.

Thank you for reaching out. No ingredients were added, only inositol was removed. Inositol is a skin nutrient and would not affect the digestibility of the diet. If you have additional questions please reach out to our Technical Services team at 800-592-6687
