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.
How do I know which Royal Canin diet is right for my pet?
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.

My Maltese puppy Pez was 3.5 lbs./10 weeks old and mostly weaned when we became his parents. He was drinking goat milk and was eating this brand of puppy kibble. Because of his tiny teeth, it was the only kibble he was able to chew. I’m not keen on this brand because of its ingredients; however I was unable to find another dry food that he could chew...although he liked the taste of many other more healthful, limited ingredient brands we tried. Hopefully, as he gets his adult teeth, we will be able to switch to another brand.

I took my new puppy to the vet and of course I want to take the very best care of her. When I asked what brand to feed my little Sugar Bear, he didn’t hesitate. I ordered a bag of Royal Canin as soon as I got home and it arrived two days later! Can’t ask for better than that. She’s just a little puppy and the XS bites are perfect for her. I don’t need to add water to it, she has no problem chewing it. And very importantly, Chewy’s price is lower than what my veterinarian charges.

I bought this for my goldendoodle. She's 3lbs and has a cleft palate. This size is perfect for her and she is able to eat it with no issue. Definitely recommend for people who have a puppy. This food is perfect size compared to some of the other puppy food. It's easy on her teeth. She just loves it!

My puppy doesn't like it. She will only eat it if she is starving, otherwise she steal my older dogs prescription food.

When we lost our beloved Tickles who was 14, we chose another (3rd pekepoo) to fill our hearts with the joy and love. KoKo's breeder recommended Royal Canin. We recently purchased a 15 lb bag from Chewy at quiet a savings from the pet store price for 3 lb.Not only that, we didn't have to leave the house and it came the next day! I have used Chewy for several years and would and will recommend it in a heartbeat!

Purchased this for my 8 week old Pomeranian. He loves it. The very small kibble is easily managed by a puppy. Chewy delivered my order very quickly--great service!

I highly recommend RC because the company does extensive research on their food and puppy loves it. I wouldnt feed my puppy anything else.
