Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.

My dog Chewie was diagnosed with CHF/DCM in 2020 and has been on this food ever since. He's absolutely obsessed with it and runs to the kitchen any time he hears the bag open. With a combination of this food, medication, and supplements he has been doing better than ever, 3 years later. Its a little pricey but totally worth it, in my opinion. Very thankful for Royal Canin!
The food has an unpleasant odor but my dog eats every morsel so it must taste good to him.
My dog enjoys his food but especially loves when I add an egg maybe once every other day. The Vet mentioned an old Chinese tradition and we haven’t strayed away. P.S. Bruno has been on this food since being diagnosed with a heart murmur a few years ago.
My pups seem to like the formula. Smells fishy...what pup can refuse that!
My dog likes this food. It is very expensive though
Switched my dog with cardiac issues. Did cause some digestion issues as he got used to it. He likes the taste and it's very low sodium.
Really wanted to like it because it's exactly what my dog needs but she refuses to eat it. Wish I didn't spend so much on it
My dogs LOVE this food. They go nuts for it. But it doesn't fill them up. For 85 bucks, they shouldn't still be hungry afterwards. They're completely hungry again an hour later, and that's not like my dogs at all. So for that reason, I give 2 stars.
Not sure it had any affect on his heart murmur. Reading the ingredients list did not sound like quality food.
My dog has always been a grazer. I never had to measure his food because he didn’t overeat. This one we have to measure because he loves it!! Hope it helps his heart. Got it after he was diagnosed with a heart murmur. Will write another review as his heart is reassessed!
