27 Jun 2018My two Chihuahuas love it!
I purchased the 8+ brand for my oldest, 13 yrs. old, because he has BAD teeth and has trouble eating. I wet down the kibble and they both have really taken to it that way. My other one has just turned 8 so I am very happy that this is their day to day kibble.

My Chihuahua loves this food. He would just pick at other food and when I tried him on other food and mixed it with the Royal Canin food he would pick the new food out and just eat the Royal Canin. The only problem we have is finding it. The local PetSmart doesn't carry it so have to go to one farther away that does carry it. PetSmart doesn't even show it online for some reason.

Love the product but with 3 chihuahuas the 2.5 pound bag is too small. Need to come out with a larger bag.

Don't tell my rescue mix that this is only for purebred Chihuahuas. This is the first kibble he's ever liked....it softens up with a bit of water (or homemade chicken soup). He used to pick the chicken out of his bowl when I mixed it with kibble; now everything in the bowl get gobbled down. Too bad most stores don't stock Chi Adult 8.

30 Apr 2018Putting some weight back on!
My Chi has always been about 5.5lbs of pure muscle. As he got older he started to lose some weight & the vet was a little concerned. I didn't want to just feed him fatty treats so we tried the 8+ since he's always been on royal canin since his adoption. He loves it & is putting on healthy weight. Thank you for keeping my lil guy healthy & happy.

29 Apr 2018My dog loves it!
My dog has been eating this food since she was old enough to eat dry kibble. People are always complimenting her on her coat being so soft. She still has that puppy soft fur and she’s 8 now. I tried to go with another brand to start on her senior kibble but she refused. Went out and bought the 8+ and she gobbled it right up. Just wish they sold it in a 10lb bag like the adult chihuahua food. 2.5lbs doesn’t last nearly as long and much more expensive.
Royal Canin response
I would be happy to make the suggestion for a larger bag

I bought this for the first time, my chihuahua love it, which I had been having trouble with my one chihuahua for a year since he was diagnoused with a heart condition, so the plus is this is good for cardiac health. Now if I could only find it in a bigger size, and keep my cats out of it.LOL
