Thank you RoyalCanin

After research and research and changing foods couple of times I wonder why I didn’t choose RC in the first place? Thank you RC for making a specific breed food ^^ I have a GR gathering weekly and most of all members of this club give competition brands but I think they will change after my review and it’s the best~^^

Great Food!

We brought our girl home and she was pretty malnourished and had constant diarrhea. Her fur was so course that the veterinarian questioned if she was all golden retriever or if she had some thick undercoat from another breed. I switched her to this food and within 2 weeks her fur is softer, she's gained all of the weight she should have had on her and then some, and she loves this food. The kibbles are also perfect size to be able to use as training treats. We will definitely keep her on RC for the rest of her life.

Customer for life

We started our golden puppy on the Blue Buffalo large breed puppy food, which is what the breeder used. He is my first puppy so I didn’t know any better but there were too many bowel movements daily and poorly formed. After we switched to Royal Canin, the pup switched to a clock like regularity with well formed/healthy colored stool. His coat is amazing and he is growing well. He is now 12 months and we will he staying with stay with Royal Canin when we switch to adult food soon.

Happy Puppy - Happy Owners

We bought this over two months ago and our dog loves it. Actually, it's hard to believe that any puppy wouldn't as they will eat anything and everything they can get their mouth into. The nutritional value of this dog food far surpasses that of any other puppy food for a Golden Retriever. The only other food source I would consider is raw but that is way too involved for us. We did a lot of researching prior to going with this product. Our last Golden was 14 yrs. old when he passed away.

Great for my puppy's coat

We rescued a dark Golden Retriever puppy several months ago. She was malnourished and her coat was coarse. We started feeding her Royal Canin Gold Retriever puppy food and within a few weeks her coat was supper soft and shiny. Our puppy loves the food and we love how it makes her look.

Love that I don't have to worry

I bought this as a 1st time golden retriever pet owner at the overwhelming recommendation from several Golden retriever group members and my vet. It has everything the breed and puppy specifically needs I don't have to worry. It is also priced perfectly.
