This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary according to your pet'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.
Why do some Royal Canin diets contain grains?
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.
How do you ensure Royal Canin diets are safe for my pet?
Our Quality and Food Safety systems are state-of-the-art and we continue to invest heavily in new technology to make sure they remain that way.* We put our suppliers through a rigorous selection process that doesn’t end with our first purchase.* We monitor every load delivered to our plants to verify the safety and quality of the ingredients we use to make pet food.* We perform tests on finished pet foods before they are shipped to our customers.* We manufacture every pet food we sell, in plants that we own; our plants are ISO 9001:2008 certified for Quality Management and ISO 22000 certified for Food Safety.

For healthy pets, use our Product Selector to find the right diet for your cat or dog.If your pet is experiencing health issues, please refer to your veterinarian for more information. Your veterinarian will consider multiple factors when recommending an appropriate diet.
Tailor-Made Nutrition
Designed for the Specific Needs of the Golden Retriever PuppyWhy 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 Retriever Puppies
Royal Canin's Golden Retriever Puppy Dry Dog Food is for Golden Retriever puppies from 8 weeks to 15 months old.
Healthy skin & coat: Food plays an important part in maintaining skin and coat health. Golden Retriever Puppy Dry Dog Food supports the skin's role as a barrier with an exclusive complex of nutrients, and maintains skin and coat health.
Digestive health: Digestive health is essential during Golden Retriever puppies' growth period. Their digestive system is not yet fully developed and can't absorb nutrients in the same way adult dogs can. This formula helps support digestive health and maintain a balanced intestinal flora.
Natural defenses: During the growth period, Golden Retriever puppies' natural defenses are not yet fully developed. This formula contains an exclusive complex of antioxidants, including vitamins E and C, lutein and taurine, to maintain their natural defenses.
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 Puppy 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.

Golden Pup Loves it!
By Carolina on Oct 7, 2019
My golden pup LOVES this food. The breeder was giving him this when we took him home and so far so good. Coat is so soft and plush, we get comments from everyone who pets him. Ears are always clean, some foods cause brown build up. His stool looks healthy and solid, a lot of puppies have runny stool. Not to mention this food includes glucosamine/chondroitin for good joint health. Kibble is good size for chewing! Most importantly, its one of the few foods that meet all of the WSAVA criteria! Look it up!

Great for my Labrador Retriever
By Lablover on Sep 3, 2019
My vet thinks that my pup has IBS he’s 10 months old. He was on an expensive prescription diet. So I wanted to try this with him and it works great. It has more fiber than all of the other Royal Canin dog foods. The kibble is much bigger than the Royal Canaan labrador retriever puppy food,so I feel like I’m really getting my money’s worth. I call the kibble golden nuggets versus chocolate cheerios. My pup wolfs it right down and seems satisfied and fuller longer. Golden retriever food is on the left and lamb retriever food is on the right.

Our puppy loves this!
By Lmkk on Aug 21, 2019
This is the second food we have provided our puppy, 18 week old female, 39 lbs. It was an easy transition from her breeders food, with no visual changes ie loose stool or the like. She continues to gain weight at 2lbs a week and her coat is lovely as she slowly gets her feathers. Being it is a large bag I appreciate having it automatically delivered to our door at the cycle we determine. We plan to stick with this for the recommended 15 months and will gladly switch to the adult version at that time. She is worth the price and quality food. Peace

Healthies Golden puppies!
By Shannen40 on Aug 3, 2019
The FDA recently released a list of about 14 foods that have been documented to cause heart failure and other maladies in dogs. Thank Goodness my babies ONLY get the best, and Royal Canin was not on the list! I grow Huge Healthy, Happy Sassy Goldens free feeding Royal Canin puppy until 2 years. They consistently check in at peak health and weight at the vet for those that worry about free feeding ;)Bright clear eyes, silky shiny coat and exceptional health, we are Royal Canin for life!

AMAZING FOOD!! my puppy loves it
By 1234 on Jul 21, 2019
We switched to this food after a recommendation from the vet. My golden puppy was eating blue wilderness and was having terrible diarrhea for several weeks. Once I realized it was probably the food, I switched her to this right away, I didn’t even slowly transition her, I just completely changed her food and she instantly didn’t have diarrhea anymore!! The night I gave her this food for dinner she had her first solid BM in weeks. I highly recommend this food for golden puppies!! She also loves the way it tastes, eats it so quickly because she loves it so much.

We recently rescued a Golden Retriever Puppy, 10 months old. We decided to put her on this since she needs to gain weight and we trust Royal Canin. She LOVES this dry food and looks forward to mealtime. We love the convenience of Chewy.com!

Amazing puppy food, fixed my girl's stools!
By Sarah on Jun 29, 2019
Prior to this food, we were feeding our golden retriever pup a grain free food and her stools were loose and she didn't like it. We changed to Royal Canin Golden Retriever puppy as our veterinarian recommended a higher fiber content diet. With the updated FDA report listing her previous food being linked to DCM we are forever grateful that we switched to Royal Canin Golden Retriever puppy which is grain inclusive. We visited our breeder and complimented her growth and how shiny and soft her coat is. With over 50 years of research, no recalls since 2007 and meeting WSAVA guidelines I feel confident in this food choice for my Golden girl.

Wonderful!
By sdcthatsme on Jul 10, 2019
After countless hours deciding on a food for my pup, Lono. I realized I was overthinking it. Get this food if you have any doubts! Best decision I’ve made for my pup, especially with all the FDA recalls recently. Rest assured, this is the best food in my opinion.
