ROYAL CANIN®’s products are the result of years of careful research focused on the precise nutritional needs of cats and dogs. Unlike many of our competitors who take an ingredients-led approach, we are committed to a detailed, nutrient-led philosophy.
In a nutrient-focused approach, the specific nutritional needs of cats and dogs are evaluated first, and an optimal diet profile is based on the needs that have been established. These needs are determined by the species of the pet, but also their breed, lifestyle, age, and health condition, or sensitivities. From here, high-quality, highly digestible ingredients are selected which can be combined to match the specific nutritional profiles.
To make sure our nutritional formulas are precisely tailored to real-world needs, we partner with pet experts—veterinarians, breeders and professional groups. This has allowed us to develop a deep understanding of individual breeds, varied life stages, and lifestyles, as well as the consideration of many medical conditions.
