So we’re told…

Dogs aren’t wolves, they are domesticated by humans and therefore don’t eat like wolves at all but survived on what humans ate.

Hi Andy, that’s perfectly useful feedback and I’m glad Royal Canin works well for your dog when others don’t. It would be interested to know the issues you’ve faced with your dog on those foods, whether it’s dietary reactions or pancreatitis or anything like that?

Hey I appreciate these reviews, and I have tried so many different foods, raw, air dried, kibble and a lot of the aussie made products. When my dog has suffered issues and I put him back on Royal Canin he bounces back, his coat is great his waste is perfect and his last blood work was spot on. At the moment he is on his specific breed formula, contrary to everything I have researched I know there’s better quality food around for the price, but this little fellow loves his Royal Canin and it works for him. My last dog a big GSD lived to 14 years old on kibble, I strayed away from kibble because of the meat only recommendations and prey orientated food, but Royal Canin works well so we are staying on it for a while. Yes I have tried the Aussie air dried stuff unfortunately I would love to support home grown, but at the end of the day my dog is doing well on his Royal Canin so dont rule it out completely. Petfoodreview I still love your work.

Thank you explaining the ingredient splitting so well, didn’t trigger that maize and maize flour are the same same.

Cheers
Geoff

After trying multiple brands of dry food available at our petstore in the last 15 years i keep coming back to Royal Canin . Ive tried Iam’s , Eukanuba , Advance , Purina Proplan , Black Hawk , Hills Science , Optimum ( during covid lockdown ) , MFM , Ivory Coat , Savourlife and more that i can’t recall… I do realise the ingredients on paper aren’t the best but I can’t argue with the results in the flesh . Stools are always consistent, they don’t stink like some other brands , their coats look amazing , our Labrador would get irritated paws on some other brands and all 3 of mine on it love it but i must admit they aren’t fussy eaters . We have a Boxer , Labrador and a Rottweiler all being fed their breed specific Royal Canin . We also had great results with Royal Canin Maxi for these doggos but yeah atm they’re on individual breed specific Royal Canin .

Thank you for all the helpful advice. It’s a minefield trying to navigate what’s best to feed your pet and your information is excellent. Based on your reviews my whippet puppy is getting Lyka, Frontier and Taste of the Wild in place of Royal Canin which was recommended by the breeder and my vet.

Surely there must be a number of studies on what dogs eat in the wild, but I would be very surprised if wild packs of dogs or wolves ate a high percentage of carbohydrate unless starving. I am going to slowly move my whippet pup over to meat based diet.
