Picky Chihuahua's Agree...

I buy Royal Canin Chihuahua dry dog food for my picky, toothless senior Chihuahua. It has been the only dog food he will eat for many years. In addition to the dry food (which I leave down for him all day/night), he also gets boiled chicken, sweet potatoes, and vegetables daily. I cannot tell you how many times he chooses to eat the Royal Canin dry food over his freshly cooked chicken. I think that says a lot. This 15 year old Chihuahua gives Royal Canin Chihuahua Adult dry dog food all 4 paws up.

Not entirely satisfied

My dog was fed this her first year and a half of life. I notice her coat is shiny but she has no muscle and only “goes number 2” every two days. I do not know if this is normal. Since switching my dog off of this food to a more meat and potatoes type diet she has been regular. Maybe not as shiny but her health means more to me than a shiny coat. I have to say I do like how the company advertises though. Coming from the agriculture industry I do appreciate it.

My dog loves your food.

My dog will not eat anything other than this bag of food. The price is not ideal or budget friendly but i'll spend the money because she loves it.

Best in Bowl!

Spike is the pickiest of eaters. No snacks, no treats, only Royal Canin kibble since he was about 2 or 3. He eats if for breakfast, for treats for being good and dinner. At this age I only wish it had Glucosamine Chondroitin included.

Its the only food my dog loves

Chihuahuas are so picky when trying dog food, but After trying several brands and different types of dog Foods, my chihuahua loved Royal Canin, she is now 9yrs old and her vitality, hair, and health are excellent.
