Royal Canin Labrador Retriever Puppy Dry Dog Food, 30-lb bag
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
This Royal Canin formula is designed exclusively for pure breed Labrador Retriever puppies from 8 weeks to 15 months. If a Labrador Retriever Puppy grows too quickly, his weight can outpace his skeletal development, even leading to deformities. And, Labrador Retrievers (even puppies) are prone to gain extra weight, which can cause problems as they grow. This is why it's important to feed a diet that is tailor-made for their specific needs.

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.

Tailor-Made Nutrition
Designed for the Specific Needs of the Labrador 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 Labrador Retriever Puppies
Royal Canin's Labrador Retriever Puppy Dry Dog Food is designed exclusively for pure breed Labrador Retriever puppies from 8 weeks to 15 months.
Healthy growth & weight: Labrador Retrievers have a legendary appetite. This formula contributes to the healthy development of bone structure and promotes harmonious weight gain with an appropriate intake of energy, protein, calcium and phosphorus.
Digestive health: Digestive health is essential during Labrador Retriever puppies' growth period. Their digestive system is not yet fully developed and can't absorb nutrients in the same way adult dogs can. Labrador Retriever Puppy Dry Dog Food includes L.I.P. proteins to help maintain a balanced intestinal flora.
Natural defenses: During the growth period, Labrador Retriever puppies' natural defenses are not yet fully developed. This formula includes an exclusive complex of antioxidants including vitamins E and C, lutein and taurine to maintain their natural defenses.
Exclusive Kibble
Labrador Retrievers tend to eat quickly without chewing their food. The donut-shaped kibble in Labrador Retriever Puppy Dry Dog Food helps to slow the rate of ingestion and encourages puppies 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.

Best puppy chow
By Sammy on Aug 21, 2020
This is my second litter raised on Royal Canin Puppy for Labrador Retriever. The pups growth and development was wonderful. And Chewy getting the food to me in 1 to 2 days was astonishing. My local pet food store couldn't stock it in a week and the other store was $20 more. Time is important when you are feeding 9 hungry Lab pups.

Best food you can get
By GertiesMom on Sep 8, 2020
Both my labs are on Royal Canin and within a week their coat became so much healthier and shiny That everyone we meet mentions it. If it does this much for their coat I just know it’s good for the rest of their bodies too.

smells good!
By Kata on Jul 27, 2020
When I first opened my bag, the smell of it is really good for me lol I thought it’s human cookie smell! I’ve had two bags for my 18weeks old Lab pup, he’s growing really well and healthy, he’s getting big too, so I think it works really well!

Puppy loves it
By rrrev52 on Jul 12, 2020
My 8 month old chocolate Lab started balking at eating the Purina Proplan puppy food, so we decided to try the royal canin. Even with a mix to start she ate it right down. She is now on just royal canin and she eats it right down without any hesitation. This is great dog food.

Great Lab puppy food

This food is great especially when fed with a slow feeder bowl to help my lab not gobble everything up.

Lab Royal Canine puppy
By Beast on May 24, 2020
We have had our sweet boy, Beast, on this since his tummy was bothering him at 10 weeks from Purina Pro. He loves the flavor and we train with the kibble too. He eats a lot like 6 cups a day and it last for a whole month! I love not having to carry the heavy bag home too with the fast delivery and shipping.

Very pleased
By Bryan on Jun 9, 2020
We switched our pup to this food after trying his original food given by his breeder. We’ve found he likes this a lot more and it has improved his regularity. Very happy and worth the $.

Love the Food!
By KrisO on Mar 23, 2020
Our Choc. Lab puppy is 13 weeks now and we started feeding her this food when she was 9-10 weeks old. She had stinky breath and dandruff hair. Our vet said it could be from a parasite or the current food she was on. She tested negative for a parasite. Once we put her on this food for a few weeks she ate it up no problem, her coat is shiny and soft. No more stinky breath or dandruff! I was hesitant at first because of the cost, but seeing the results I have I am going to keep her on it.
