Good food

My small dog has always had digestive issues. It has been a challenge to find the right food that works for her. I will say she has done great with the Royal Canin small digestive pet food. This is a 3.5 pound bag. My dog has used the whole bag and her little tummy as tolerated it very well. I have recently purchased more for her. I’m happy that I found a great brand that works for my little dog.

Dog loves it

I have a 10 yr old Shih Tzu, so I always prefer to buy small kibble for his tiny mouth. This kibble is the perfect size. He eats it with no issue, so I’m going to assume it’s tasty. No messy poo, so that is also a plus. Ingredients seem high quality.

Dog Approves

My dog can be sensitive to some foods, so I normally do not change her diet very often. I began feeding her the Royal Canin Digestive Care by mixing it with her regular kibble. She happily gobbled it down and did not encounter any issues. I have since changed to the Royal Canin only and she seems to be quite content. She is an older dog and I think that she is able to chow down on the small kibble bits quite easily. I have noticed that she does not need to go outside nearly as often. I appreciate that the packaging is resealable and contains a guideline for how much to feed your pet on the back.

For my furry friend

I recently switched my small breed dog to Royal Canin, and I couldn't be happier with the results. This 3.5 lb bag has been a game-changer for my little baby's digestive health and overall well-being. He has always had a sensitive stomach, often experiencing diarrhea, vomiting, and farting. I've tried various dog food brands, but they never alleviated the issues. This has not caused any issues.

Doggies not approved

Unfortunately, my dogs didn't care for they turned away every time I would offer it to them. I will continue a couple more times to offer it to them, if they don't like it, it then I have lost this battle.

Works great for my dog

I have a miniature dachshund that has severe acid reflux. Other foods he either gets sick from or he eats it for a few days and then refuses to eat it anymore. He has been eating this daily for over 2 weeks and still gets excited to eat it. He hasn't had any acid reflux symptoms lately either. I like that they are tiny flat kibbles. They are easy for my 12 pound dog to eat. He is happy with this product and so am I.

Really great health benefits

The small digestive care dry dog food seemed like it would be the perfect fit, however, I forgot the most important factor - just how picky my dog can truly be. The Royal Canin description is ideal for what was I looking for my dog to start eating, but just like my children who I wish would eat more healthy foods, my dog decided to be super duper picky and won't even give it a chance. I hope it works for your dogs!

My dogs favorite dog food

I have a 1 year old Shi-Poo. He is very picky with his dog food. But he absolutely loved this Royal Canin Small Digestive Care Dry Dog Food. I like that this dry dog food helps promote good digestive care for my dog. I like that it has a blend of digestible proteins, prebiotic, and fibers to promote a balanced intestinal flora.

A Digestive Delight for Small Dogs!

I recently switched my small dog's diet to Canine Care Nutrition Small Digestive Care Dry Dog Food, and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. This 3.5 lb bag has been a game-changer for my furry friend's digestive health, and I couldn't be happier with the results. One of the most noticeable improvements since making the switch has been my dog's digestion. She used to suffer from occasional upset stomachs and irregular bowel movements, but since transitioning to this formula, those issues have become a thing of the past. It's clear that this dog food is designed with digestive care in mind. The first thing I appreciate about this dog food is its ingredient list. It contains high-quality, easily digestible ingredients, which is crucial for small dogs with sensitive stomachs. Additionally, it is free from common allergens and fillers, giving me peace of mind knowing that my dog is getting the best nutrition without unnecessary additives. The kibble size is perfect for small dogs like mine. It's easy for her to chew and digest, which is a big plus. I've noticed that she seems to enjoy the taste as well; her excitement during mealtime is evident. Furthermore, the packaging of this dog food is convenient. The resealable bag helps keep the kibble fresh, ensuring my dog gets the same great taste and nutrition with each serving. This 3.5 lb bag lasts quite a while for my small pup, making it a cost-effective choice. In summary, Canine Care Nutrition Small Digestive Care Dry Dog Food has been a fantastic addition to my dog's diet. It has resolved her digestive issues, is made with high-quality ingredients, and offers great value. I highly recommend it to anyone with a small dog in need of digestive care. It's a five-star product that has earned its place in my pet's food bowl.
