Don’t cheat your animals…Royal Canin had to be the best food to promote life long health and longevity we’ve ever used. Period!
Theresa Cooper –

It’s been twice that I have babies at home. On both occasions I gave this food to my dog who is a chihuahua and her puppies and they loved them. They are small and easy to eat, because the puppies almost two months old were already biting them perfectly and had just been blown up. I guess they taste good because mom preferred them to the ones she used to eat before.
Maribel Castro Casillas –
My puppy loves it 👏
danna aide dayana Martinez Garcia –
I liked that they look quality has a smell of milk good it smells a little ugly but it feels k without quality and the best thing that my dog loved I just hope if they make her produce more milk as it says in the description.

I love the convenience of this puppy food. Bag is easy to open and reseal, has great ingredients, the puppies love it, and poop odor is low! It’s a win win all round!
Sue –
I use the Mother and Baby Mousse food in the cans first, then transition the puppies to this dry food. I’ve used it for my last 4 litters and it works great!

Excellent option for weaning the showers and for the mother to recover a little. The kibble is soft just for the occico of the puppies, the mother loves him for the firmness that brings and not being battling at the time of eating, In addition to nutrients and quality, very good option until two months.

I bought another brand (the same for newborns) but it doesn’t mix as well in water as this one (you should use hot water to make it faster). The size of the kibble is also perfect for puppies of small breeds. The presentation of a kilo seems very small for me, especially if the mother also eats, for large breeds the bag should not last even a week. As for the taste, I suppose it’s good because both the puppies and the mother haven’t rejected it.
Monica Mondragon –
He had a puppy less than 5 weeks old and this helped him a lot to strengthen his system, his fur looks beautiful and when he arrived he weighed 700 grams now he weighs 2.5 kg and he is not yet 3 months old… the food has given him vitality… he is a happy puppy
Mrs D –
The kibble is extremely tiny making it’s very easy for young puppies to eat. I actually just brought home my second corgi puppy today. I was worried because I just lost my previous corgi puppy to unknown reasons. My self, my vet and my breeder still have no answers. So when the breeder agreed to replace her I know i had to completely start off with extra pro cautions. I normally never feed a food that starts with the list of ingredients on the puppy starter, but since she’s only 6 weeks age. She will only be on this for two weeks, then we will switch formulas. So the breeder fed Lonestar puppy feed, she sorty picked at it but nothing much. So the feed arrived about four hours after we got home. I fixed her a small bowl and she loved it. Highly recommended
