My girls didn’t like this

I bought this 8+ for my girls as they are in this category. I’ll be honest the food is bigger and they didn’t like it. For dogs that are 8+ in this instance my chihuahuas

I bought this 8+ for my girls as they are in this category. I’ll be honest the food is bigger and they didn’t like it. For dogs that are 8+ in this instance my chihuahuas the 8+ hard food were bigger pieces than just the adult version and that was the biggest problem. For dogs who are 8+ years old many small breeds normally have lost some teeth. I’m gonna go back to the adult bag that they like to eat and has the smaller pieces. I am disappointed I wasted so much money on a 2.5lb bag of food. This is just my experience and you might have different results.

Lady Bear Donut approves!

Ever since we switched, her coat is shiny and smooth, and she still loves to eat it even after many years. It's a bit pricier than what we were buying before, but

Ever since we switched, her coat is shiny and smooth, and she still loves to eat it even after many years. It's a bit pricier than what we were buying before, but she's almost 20 years old and we like that this is tailored for her age and breed.

My Pup Loves It

My chi mix was having trouble with his previous brand. No problems with this and he gobbles it up.

Worst breath!

My 10 year old dog has been eating this for a few weeks. Ever since I switched her to it, she has had the worst breath ever. Any time she opens her mouth, it smells

My 10 year old dog has been eating this for a few weeks. Ever since I switched her to it, she has had the worst breath ever. Any time she opens her mouth, it smells like something died in there. I've brushed her teeth, checked to make sure there isn't something in there and it's still just as bad. Has to be the food!

Young Again!

Since switching our little chihuahua mix to Royal Canin, our boy has gotten quite the spring in his step. At 11, this food has given him renewed energy and “feistiness.”

Since switching our little chihuahua mix to Royal Canin, our boy has gotten quite the spring in his step. At 11, this food has given him renewed energy and “feistiness.” Nothing else has changed in his environment, so it has to be this food. It’s wonderful to see the difference it has made for him.
