Miracle food!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We adopted our mini poodle, Sweetie, from a rescue with serious digestiin issues. Aftee trying several dog food brands we were frustrated and about to give up ever finding something that worked. Then we heard about Royal Canin and decided to try. Wow, what a difference! Her appetite came back, no more diarrhea, no more weight loss. It was like a miracle! We love Royal Canin!

My dog loves it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My poor little terrier mix got so sick and it’s was caused by his food! The previous brand changed the recipe and he got so sick! Vomiting, diarrhea you name it. Previous to this he was picky about his food and would randomly stop eating it. Switched him post tummy issues to Mini Special dry and he loves it! he cleans his bowl every time and he always asks for me! I love that he loves his new diet and that his tummy issues cleared right up! He also eats the Gastrointestinal treats and he can’t get enough of those either! So happy we found something he loves and devours! Thanks Royal Canin!!

Saved my dog!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our dachshund has a severely sensitive stomach. Researched dog foods and picked this one and he has been on it for 10 years with no problems. Would never consider switching to another dog food!

The ONLY food my fussy eater likes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Right from when we brought our puppy home she was a bit of a fussy eater. We gave her more time still no change, brought her to the vet, he suggested we try a few different foods. We tried many kinds and gave them all a fair shot so she didn’t end up with a “buffet” - no luck. I was really starting to worry about her as she wasn’t eating nearly enough, then Royal Canin was recommended to us, and there it was...the Mini Special for fussy eaters! It really was! She ate it that day and continues to eat it well daily. It is all she likes 3 years later, and she is an incredibly healthy dog!

Doggone crazy good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first dog, a Lhasa Apso was having stomach issues. She would seem to be fine for two months then get sick. Vets said change food. After going through this every two months, Vets guessed she may have IBS and wanted to do extensive tests. I talked to my dog groomer who told me to check out Royal Canin. Her dogs were going through the same issue and it cleared with your food. So I looked them all over and decided on the Special. It’s a miracle! She’s hasn’t had an issue every since and she’s now 15 years old! It also worked on my old Pekingese who refused to eat ANY sort of dog food. She was living on boiled chicken and rice. I have other dogs and they all are on Special. There is no other dog food I’d buy. I even got my parents to switch brands cause they were having problems with their Pomeranians. I DO buy the breed specific Cocker Spaniel that I give each dog 5-7 pieces mixed in their food for a variety. Well, two of my dogs are Cockers after all.

My dogs with sensitive tummies love this food!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My small dogs love this food. It is very aromatic and a bit "greasy" which they really like. Their poops are just right now after switching to this. Would highly recommend it!
