This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary according to your dog's temperament, activity level and environment. If you have any questions regarding your pet's health, please contact your veterinarian.
We recommend at least a 7 day transition before you begin feeding the new food exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively. This allows your pet’s digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.
How are Royal Canin diets preserved?
All of our dry diets are preserved naturally with mixed tocopherols, citric acid, and rosemary extract. Our canned diets are naturally preserved and sterilized during the cooking and canning process.
Where do the ingredients in Royal Canin diets come from?
We select our ingredients based on multiple factors, including the supplier’s compliance with our quality and food safety requirements, consistent availability, and on the nutrients required to meet the dietary needs of the pet.Royal Canin is making strides towards sustainability by attempting to obtain sources of raw materials as close to each manufacturing facility as possible. In some cases, we use international suppliers, because only those suppliers can offer raw materials that comply with our quality and food safety standards.
Why do some Royal Canin diets contain by-products?
Royal Canin chooses ingredients because they deliver high-quality nutrients that support our customized pet food formulas. Using chicken by-product meal instead of chicken meal for example will allow Royal Canin to maintain its highly customized nutrient standards while achieving a more secure and sustainable supply.

Grains can be a healthy part of any cat or dog’s diet. As always, we focus on the nutrients each ingredient provides and grains can provide many important nutrients.

Tailor-Made Nutrition
Designed for the Specific Needs of the Golden RetrieverWhy Pure Breed Dogs Need Tailored Nutrition
From their personalities to their distinctive physiologies, pure breed dogs have unique characteristics that make them sought-after and beloved companions. When choosing a formula, it's important to keep in mind the unique characteristics of your breed including:
Face and Jaw: All dogs fall into two basic jaw types: Brachycephalic or mesocephalic. Breeds with short, broad muzzles (like Bulldogs) are examples of a brachycephalic jaw. Breeds with a longer muzzle (like Labrador Retrievers) are examples of mesocephalic breeds. The jaw type, and even biting patterns can affect how a breed picks up kibble.
Skin Types: The skin's most important function is to serve as a barrier of protection-but not all breeds have the same skin type. From wrinkled and folded (which traps heat and moisture) to sensitive or water resistant, precise levels of key nutrients help to support a breed's unique skin health needs.
Distinctive Coats: There's more to a coat than meets the eye. From the color and texture to undercoats, each pure breed dog has a unique coat with unique needs.
Breed Specific Formulas
Every dog is unique. From the small, flat-faced Pug to the obesity-prone Labrador Retriever, Royal Canin Breed Health Nutrition is tailor-made to address the unique needs of pure breed dogs. These breed specific formulas benefit from the latest Royal Canin research on the selection of the best protein sources, unique nutrients and tailor-made kibbles.
Formulated for Golden Retrievers
Royal Canin's Golden Retriever Adult Dry Dog Food is designed exclusively for pure breed Golden Retrievers over 15 months.
Healthy skin & coat: Food plays an important part in maintaining skin and coat health. Golden Retriever Adult Dry Dog Food supports the skin's role as a barrier with an exclusive complex of nutrients, and maintains skin and coat health.
Healthy cardiac function: Golden Retrievers are prone to cardiac sensitivity. This formula contains specific nutrients including taurine, EPA and DHA to help support healthy cardiac function.
Ideal weight: Excess weight gain can affect the health of Golden Retrievers, so an appropriately balanced food is necessary for their health. This exclusive formula helps maintain an ideal weight.
Exclusive Kibble
Golden Retrievers have a straight muzzle and teeth that meet in a scissors bite. The kibble size, shape and texture in Golden Retriever Adult Dry Dog Food is designed specifically for this breed and encourages them to chew.
Why Royal Canin?
Over time, Royal Canin has accumulated vast knowledge about cats and dogs that only extensive research, scientific study and tireless talks with pet professionals, veterinarians and owners can provide. That knowledge led them to develop precise nutrition for cats and dogs. Each Royal Canin formula is tailored to pets' size, age, lifestyle and breed and contains more than 50 perfectly balanced nutrients for the most effective diet possible.
Their focus on science puts pets at the heart of the formulation process, choosing only ingredients that optimize the food's nutritional content. Royal Canin also continues to invest heavily in new technology to ensure their quality and food safety systems remain state-of-the-art, so pets can continue to benefit from the latest in food health and nutrition.

Hard to Determine Feeding Quantity
By HalliesMom on Sep 10, 2020
It's too soon to tell whether this food is better for my Golden, but the food pieces are so large it's hard to compare to the "normal" sized dog food to figure out how much to feed. The first week, I wasn't giving her enough food. My dog would not leave me alone! It wasn't until I looked carefully at the recommended feeding amounts that I learned I was UNDERFEEDING her by about one cup per feeding!! Three weeks later, I'm still not sure if the quantity is right for her. Big pain in the patoot!

Dog approved!
By Callie on Aug 19, 2020
I have a 2 year old female pure bred Golden and this is the only food that stuck!! When we first got her at 2 months old, the breeder had her on Purina Pro Plan All Stages but then my vet recommended she go on Hill’s Science Diet Large Breed Puppy which she did ok on but after a few months she lost interest and didn’t want to eat. As she was approaching adulthood I knew I had to change her to adult food. So I tried many other brand name dog foods but she would get bored and stop eating after a week or so which was so frustrating! Finally I found Royal Canin Golden Retriever and she’s been on it for 1+ years so far and loves it! Thank you Royal Canin for making this dog food and being breed specific I have a 2 year old female pure bred Golden and this is the only food that stuck!!

I think all the other foods had small size kibble but this one is designed specifically for Goldens so idk if thats what did it for my girl Callie. And thank you to Chewy for carrying this dog food! Makes my life so much easier to do auto ship instead of going to the pet store and carrying a 30 lb bag of dog food. … more

Finally found a food they like
By Bunny on Sep 10, 2020
I have a German Shepherd and a Golden Retriever and both love this food. The kibble is a lot larger than the other premium brands that I was feeding them. I switched to RC GR formula for the added taurine and supplements for this breeds heart. I tried the GSD formula for our GSD but she kept going to the GR formula. Our vet said it was fine so I've switched both of them to RC GR.

Good product, but too expensive
By smartshopper on Jul 26, 2020
I've been feeding my Goldendoodle Royal Canin for years. One day I bought another premium food when my store was out of stock of Royal Canin. My boy gobbled down the other brand, and keeps gobbling every time I fill his bowl. The kicker is that this other brand is half the price. Hint: IAMS pro health mini chunks.

i don’t like the ingredients
By dawg on Sep 26, 2020
I’m hesitant to buy this for my golden because of the ingredients. They just don’t seem good enough at all. The first few ingredients seem like they are just fillers and I don’t approve of it.

Great food
By Rooster on Oct 8, 2020
Giant sized kibble makes our dog crunch them up slow,ing his eating down to a healthy speed. He is a very finicky eater and this is his favorite dry food.

The best for your golden
By Mollymomma on Jun 26, 2020
This is the best of the best for your golden, especially if they have a sensitive stomach. We went through a few different adult foods and this came highly recommended by her vet. It helped with her indigestion and sensitive stomach that causes diarrhea. If our dog eats anything outside of a low fat diet or any human foods she gets diarrhea easily and or super gassy. Her stool gets runny and obviously it must be uncomfortable for her. After we started royal canid she has no tummy issues or very little issues as long as she stays away from human foods. Started a subscribe and save for this.

Finicky Goldens
By LukeandLeia on Sep 23, 2020
The product is great. But, my goldens are not in love with the taste. They'll eat it...but, only after a slight protest.

Won’t eat this
By Toby on Jul 28, 2020
Toby will not eat this food. It is probably good, he just won’t touch it. Ordering was easy. I have a full bag of food he won’t eat and had to order something else.

My golden didn’t like it
By Kimm on Oct 2, 2020
The pieces are really big and my golden did not like it at all. She ate a couple pieces and never touched it again.
