The best for sensitive stomachs

I tried my Maltese puppy on many different dry dog foods until we discovered Royal Canin Mini Special. This one worked for us. And my little one can eat it too although she has no teeth at 11 yrs. The best dry food ever. Both my dogs ate the Royal Canin adult can food also with great success. A pet pantry stock item for our family! Thank you Royal Canin.

My dachshunds love this good

After buying a dachshund puppy, I tried many brands of food including science diet, blue buffalo, Iams and Purina One. He refused to eat those brands. I found Royal Canin mini puppy food and he loves it. We encouraged our son to switch to Royal Canin and his once overweight dog is now a healthy weight. I will never feed my dogs another brand.

One of the only foods my picky senior will eat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog had a bad bout of allergies that made hime really anorexic. The vet recommended Royal Canin and I chose this after some research. My dog will even eat this food with no wet food or fresh chicken mixed in. I am so happy I found it.

My dog loves this food!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Havanese has been eating Royal Canin since he was a puppy. He graduated to this formula, and has been eating it for the last 8 years. The small size of the kibble is perfect, and he seems to love the taste.

Great Food with Great Benefits

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our cavachon has been fed Royal Canin's since birth. She eats the Mini Special and loves it. As soon as she hears it hit her bowl, she is right there to eat it. We love that she likes it, and also that it keeps her healthy and regular.

Our Dogs LOVE THIS

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since we've had dogs (over 35 yrs.) we've NEVER come across a dog food that is good for our dogs and is a food they are begging for a meal time. In the past an interest in the food we had been feeding them has been maybe a bag of food. The Royal Canin Mini Special 30 has been the absolute BEST food for them. We love our fur-babies and wouldn't give this to them if it was good for them. Our veterinarian is VERY pleased with their health since they have been on this. Their coats shine and they are so healthy. I LOVE THIS FOR THEM!!!
