Great Food for 11 years!!

Our 11 year old Havanese has eaten this since she was a pup. She has a very sensitive stomach as some "treats" cause issues. She is gorgeous and healthy. Will not feed her anything else!

Ingredient Change - Not The Same - DO NOT BUY

My dog will no longer eat this brand after the change. Very disappointing.

It's not the same as Mini Special

I bought this food with this new packaging and the attendant told me that was the same food as Mini Special, but It seems that is not because my dog got really sick since she started to eat this food. I don't know what to do now, because she used to eat the Mini special before and she was really good and happy, but now she can't stand eating this food she gets really bad and I'm so worried about her. Please tell me Royal Canin this is exactly the same one? because even one ingredient if changed can cause serious effects in dogs with a sensitive stomach.
Royal Canin response
Thank you for reaching out. No ingredients were added, only inositol was removed. Inositol is a skin nutrient and would not affect the digestibility of the diet. If you have additional questions please reach out to our Technical Services team at 800-592-6687

The best for sensitive stomachs

I tried my Maltese puppy on many different dry dog foods until we discovered Royal Canin Mini Special. This one worked for us. And my little one can eat it too although she has no teeth at 11 yrs. The best dry food ever. Both my dogs ate the Royal Canin adult can food also with great success. A pet pantry stock item for our family! Thank you Royal Canin.

My dachshunds love this good

After buying a dachshund puppy, I tried many brands of food including science diet, blue buffalo, Iams and Purina One. He refused to eat those brands. I found Royal Canin mini puppy food and he loves it. We encouraged our son to switch to Royal Canin and his once overweight dog is now a healthy weight. I will never feed my dogs another brand.
