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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Based on size, age, lifestyle, and breed, each cat or dog has unique nutritional needs. 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.

Adopted a 10 year old Chihuahua mix last year. So glad that the 8+ formula is back in stock. I am mixing it in with her regular kibble. I can see why it's a high quality food. There are no crumbly pieces even in the bottom of the bag like some other brands. My dog loves it too!
My 16 year old Jack Russell is more active with this dog food than any other food I have tried.
Chewey is a great company and great customer service
so glad it is available again!!!!!
I have looked every where n can not find senior pomeranian OR small breed 8+...MY POOR GIRL...has to start a new diet again. I'm willing to due auto ship anything to keep her on this diet. She was severely abused before we brought her home she deserves good food. Please help
So quick and easy with this large, huge, mega scoop! We have three dogs so this makes pickup quick and easy. Good quality and longer handles which is good for not breaking your back.
I am able to buy the small 2.5 lb bags of food, but not the larger ones. WHY???? I like the convenience of chewy, but what is going on with different size bags, why are only the small bags available and not the larger ones.
Works as a training treat my dogs loves this. I feed once a day and as a treat.
My 12 yr. Old Chihuchua loves this dry food and has been enjoying it for years. Thank you.
Great food for senior, picky dog. Our 15 year old picky eater loves his food.
