NIKIJAY Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hi, Just wondering if any dog owners/breeders have used a dry dog feed, ROYAL CANIN. It is made in France and they manafacture kibble for different breeds of dogs and cover an array of specifications. eg, individual packs made for different breeds of toy dogs, puppies, junior, adult, beauty, and even a dental hygeine. They manafacture them in specific shapes to cater for the different breeds of toy togs. I purchased this product today from a Gladstone petshop. The pet shop owner said it was widely used in Sydney, Melbourne. I purchased the 'Beauty' one today for my Miniature Pinschers. I will let you know (in a few weeks) how it has benifited my dogs skin/coats etc. I can say that they went crazy over the smell and cleaned up every last piece of it! For a dog 3-4kg, you feed 80g/day I can't really explain it well, but if you have heard of it or have any other info on it, I would be happy to find out. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfgirl Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 OUr Seeing Eye Pups are raised on Royal Canin and they do very well with it, love the taste and their skin and coats are great. Let us know how it goes for your furkids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOE Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I have used it a few times for the shepherds but out in the sticks it is very hard to come by and very expensive but their coats were great only problem was keep ing the cats out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretel Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Yep my baby Bree (see pic) loves it! She came to me eating it and when I tried to change her over to Advance she got diarrhoea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaz Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I prefer it to the other brands I've tried. The dogs do too. Seems to work wonders with the coats. the pound rescues are actually gleaming within a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I have used it, and thought it was very good. Dogs liked it, and seemed to do well on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ittybitty_ Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Yeah my Poms and Iggies are fed exclusively on Royal Canin and I wouldnt feed them anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaywoman68 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I feed my 2 furkids and any foster dogs I have RC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntinHound Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 My guys were fed exclusively on Royal Canin until we discovered Nutro a few years back and changed HOWEVER Royal Canin remains our 2nd choice and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it !! The Royal Canine Rep in Brisbane is a friend of ours and if you PM me your contact details I can put you in contact with her for more details??? (Troy, am I allowed to do that??? if not please edit my post accordingly !! thanks ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firestone Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 We feed R.C. and wouldn't put our dogs on anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsD Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) I feed my sheltie pup (well not such a pup anymore!) on Royal Canin & he's done very well on it. He was on Advance & was doing OK, but his coat was much better on the Royal Canin once I switched him over. He was also pretty fussy, wouldnt touch the Nutro samples when I tried him on them but happily eats the RC.

sas Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Royal is my preference along with Pro Plan. The only time I've had a dog turn its' nose up at it is with the Giant Breed Forumla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamuzz Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Coda, the second fussiest eater in the known universe, ate the first bag of the GSD mix fine. Wouldn't even sniff the second bag. Royal Canin did cut down on the amount we had to pick up in the back garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissA Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) My Tibbie is fed on the 'Beauty' variety - and I definitely think it has helped his coat - we are really happy with it - the only problem is it comes in such little bags - but luckily for me the man at the produce shop orders me in enough bags to keep me going I always have an extra in reserve so I dont have to feed any other dry I have just bought a big bag of the medium junior to put the staffords on - I'm finding the poos are a tiny bit sloppier than with pro-plan but as we have only been using it for a week or so we will see how we go - I am still happy with the results so far Edited December 30, 2006 by MissA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how it goes for your furkids I have a litter due soon and was wondering what food to raise on...do they start on a wet food or straight onto 'wet-down dry'? thanks L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelly Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 (edited) My boy's on Royal Canin he has the shiniest coat ever! He wouldn't eat it for a while there and we didn't realise 'til later that it was because his teeth were coming out (edit: loosing his baby teeth and getting adult teeth that is, not some mysterious tooth loss desease!), so he didn't want kibble. ANYWAY, we changed over to a tinned version of Science Diet and he loved that HOWEVER his coat went dull until a couple of weeks after we put him back on RC. Also he used to throw up the kibble version of SD. So... that's my experience of it lol Edited December 31, 2006 by jelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
