Lemonlime Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Hi all, Am hoping to hear from people who use or have used Royal Canin Energy 4800. My dogs are eating Royal Canin Sensible but I was thinking of trying Energy out. It is recommended for show and working dogs but I am worried it may give my show dogs too much excess energy as they are not overly active. I am not worried about the fat content because I can adjust their feeding amounts accordingly. There are several reasons I am wanting to try it including that I can get it at a good price. Please share any experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I heard from the company it can give them a but too much energy, for dogs that cannot keep weight on it can help them slip back a bit. You can always try a bag and see how it goes, the only way to tell really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky the husky Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Wow never heard of this food before, sounds like something I'd like to try Esky on, to give her extra pep for racing. Given the high fat content I guess you'd have to be really careful feeding it. I'd love to hear experience also if it's just a good food for really active dogs, or provides more energy for the slightly lazier ones ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I had a dog on the Eagle Pack Performance and noticed no increase in energy to be honest. I fed it as he burned through food. I switched to Canidae as it has the sameish fat and protein content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonlime Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Thanks Nekhbet. On their website it says it contains no corn or wheat but in their leaflet that I picked up at a pet store it said it contains wheat gluten. Will have to check with them on that.

Weigirl Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I switched my girl to it as I could never get any weight on her. It has really helped keeping weight on and I haven't really noticed any extra energy she is as mad as ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
