22 Oct 2019Puppies really like this food and grow well
I have used this product from when it was first on the market and have found it excellent for my puppies, I always recommend it to anyone that is planning to have puppies even going so far as to buy some for them to try. My puppies are strong good bone and full of life growing at an excellent rate. I use the puppy mouse too for weaning.

22 Oct 2019Great for mommies and babies
This is an awesome product for nursing mommy dogs and puppies... A great transition from mothers breastmilk to a small kibble for young puppies

22 Oct 2019Fantastic transition food
I’ve been using this food for several years to transition my babies from mothers milk to solid food. The food seems to be very palatable and digestible. They never hit sick or have stool issues. This food is fantastic and makes life better for me and my dogs!!

22 Oct 2019Highly recommended!
My AKC breeder recommended continuing feeding this outstanding kibble. It is perfect for my toy poodle. He loves the aroma, taste, size, and ease of digestion. I love how it nourishes him. He also accepts it as a treat during training. It doesn’t get any better than this!

22 Oct 2019Best dog food ever!
I purchased Royal canin mini starter when I first purchased my Yorkie. He absolutely loved it, works eat it all until the last pebble! He is absolutely wonderful and has a very shiny coat. A total doll! We have since adopted a great and she too loves royal canin giant dog food. I love my dogs more than I can explain and will continue to feed them only the best food! Thank you Royal canin!

30 Oct 2018It was incredible!
I recently purchased a shih tzu puppy and the breeder has been feeding him this. Nougat my puppy has loved it. It has made him such a happy puppy and his health is tremendous. Royal Canin is the only food I will ever feed my dog from now on!

20 Oct 2018Amazing!!!
This product is amazing!!! All 4 of my Boston Terriers love this! I originally bought this when my female BT was pregnant..... my expectations of this product were not only met, but exceeded! We have been breeding Boston terriers for several years and I had never seen such healthy puppies and mom! The puppies transitioned from mom’s milk with ease and mom continued to maintain a healthy weight. Because of my experience, I let the other BT’s eat the product as well and they loved it! This is the ONLY product I feed my Mother and baby dogs, and I buy at least 1 bag a month to feed my other Bostons to keep their coat/skin and overall health maintained.

16 Oct 2018Learning to feed our puppies the right way!
French Bulldog Puppies
We bought a pack of Royal Canin starter just recently. Our puppies are turning to 6 weeks old. We are not sure if it are doing the right way of feeding them. Your pack said feed them 30g...is it per day feeding to divide on the gram?
How many times should we be feeding them in a day...4th or 3 times?
They are not sucking their mum milk often lately.
We are feeding them twice a day of 30g ( divide into two times feeding )
Are we doing the wrong way! Thanks!
