Finn Loves It

Our golden retriever had been on an all stage food with boiled chicken at the breeder. Our vet recommended we use a high quality puppy food. Royal Canin was one of the names he provided. Since it was specifically for Goldens it made the most sense. Our dog loves it and we had no trouble changing him over.

Picky puppy

I got a golden for my birthday but he turned his nose up to 4 different foods! I was hesitant to buy this food but my Herbie loves it. I had to buy the special bowl that slows down inhaling food. His # 2s are great too.

Great Food!

I bought this food 10 weeks ago and have been so happy with it. Once the puppy got adjusted to it, his stool has been regular he likes it and our vet was impressed with the food to. The vet had nothing but wonderful things to say at his check up. I think it's a great investment in the overall long-term health of our dog and plan to continue to use it. I love that is breed specific.

Finally, a dog food my Cody will eat!

My dog is extremely fussy. He eats people food regularly but need a supplement of good dog food to promote health. I bought so many brands but he would not touch them. Finally my vet recommended Royal Canin Golden Retriever for and he has been happily eating it for 3 years! NowI have a kitten and he is enjoying Royan Canin for kittens.

Lives up to reputation!

My veterinarian recommended Royal Canin for my Golden Retriever puppy and promised that if his coat wasn't show-worthy, I could get my money back. Well, I began feeding "Ivan" Royal Canin puppy chow and he immediately stopped having gas and stomach problems and his coat became shiny and healthy. I know the results indicate that he is healthy from the inside out and that is a comforting thought because I want him to live a very long time. Ivan is now 18 months old and I still feed him Royal Canin, now for adult Golden Retrievers.

Great food!

Royal Canin was recommended by our breeder for our new golden retriever puppy. He's been on it for close ton6 months now and is thriving. No intestinal issues, no trouble eating the kibbles, and get super excited anytime we open the bag. He loves it!

Our puppy had been getting an upset stomach pretty often. Our vet suggested we switch to Royal Canin and when we did he never had a problem again! We love that he is happy and healthy, and we are glad we have found a food that we are 100% happy with.
