Therapeutic Nutrition:
Nutrition can help the dog’s body recover faster, stay healthy longer and even help defend against diseases. ROYAL CANIN has a complete line of veterinary diets designed to help minimize clinical signs, promote recovery and help manage disease.
Our approach to treating the disease with therapeutic diets includes addressing the nutritional needs of the dog as a whole. ROYAL CANIN Veterinary Diets deliver high-quality, premium nutrition with exceptional palatability.
Innovative diets can’t do it alone. You need the expert advice of your veterinarian before making any food changes or diagnosis. That’s why all ROYAL CANIN Veterinary Diets are sold only by veterinarians.
Why you can’t judge a food by its label.
By law, food manufacturers are required to list ingredients by precooked weight in descending order. Often times, fresh meat or other water-rich ingredients are at the top of the list. You would think that means they represent the main nutritional ingredient, right? Wrong.
For example, lamb is a meat with high water content. So even if lamb is the first ingredient listed (because its precooked weight represents 25% of the diet), it actually only nets out to 4% or 5% lamb protein after all the water is cooked off. If the same food also contains 20% corn, 20% rice, 15% dried fish, 10% poultry fat and 10% vegetable oil, the manufacturer is still allowed to write "Lamb" as the first ingredient even though cereals will be the main ingredients in terms of quantity in the end product.
Royal Canin puts the emphasis on nutrients rather than ingredients.
Royal Canin concentrates first on the right balance of protein, minerals, vitamins, lipids and carbohydrates, and then selects the best ingredient sources for those nutrients. It’s a difference that will make a noticeable difference in your dog.
